Finally today my springs have taken there place on the four corner of my car and Im very satisfied of it.The ride is really a lot better than I was expected,they are not too hard but the stock shocks seems to be to soft to handle the potential of these race springs.The height is really good in front but im a little bit disapointed in the back wich i found a little too high but and can really live happy with this.For the rest I guess that all I can say about these springs and I can show you 2 pics for now,they suck but its a start I will post more pics this week end

wow the front looks like ti dropped alot how much are they supposed to drop it also it may take a lttle while for your rear to drop all the way since it doesnt have as much weight on it

looks sweet!

looks good the front looks pretty low.

what size rims u got on there?

Lowering springs always take a while to settle in. You won't see the majority of the lowering untill a good 2 weeks into their installation. You'll notice it a lot quicker on the front because of the weight of the engine/tranny. The back end has virtually no weight on it, so the springs will need time to settle in.

Expect the front to drop a little more, and the back to drop a decent amount more over the next 2-3 weeks. Looks good so far though.

Looks Good!

Nice!

Are those supposed to drop in more than the sporlines?

Are those supposed to drop in more than the sporlines?
Most H&R kits are between the Eibach Prokit and the Sportline if I'm not mistaken.

yeah they supposed to drop 2.0 in front and 1.6 rear and my wheels are 17in motegi dv5

looks really good man :twothumbs

The car looks great and it nice to finally see a car with the exact springs I'm going to get. Since you have the springs that I want to get I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me.

1. How much clearance do you have from the ground to the lowest part of your car?
2. Have you ever bottomed out (on a speedbump or driveway, etc.)?
3. How's the ride quality?
4. How does it handle now that it is lowered?

the ride is pretty stiff but its not incomfortable(I live in landmine field)
they handle very well but they ll need shocks upgraded because the ride feel a little bit too soft and for that I ve bottomed out one time on a messy road
the clearance in front where its the lowest part of the car is good(about 6 inches flush to the plastic thing under the bumper)

hope that will help you

Thanks for the help.
I have two more quick questions for you:

1. Did you cut the bumpstops?
2. If you had someone else install them how much did it cost?

1.no
2.I have them instaled at the GM dealership where I work and it cost me 20$ and it took 35 minutes to install so anybody who have experience in suspension should install your springs in less than an hour(with air tools and a lift)

what springs are those? The H&R springs I got are black and the stock springs are black. How did you get red ones? Just curious
