I've heard from a lot of people that h&rs put alot of stress on your axles and have a horrible ride. I had sportlines on my old car and I know those werent the smoothest things. But I can t justify spending 1200 bucks on coilovers. I dont know what springs to get

Its all on the area you're in... and coils would be awesome but it's.not the springs that put stress on the axles its the ride hieght... getting coils normally means you wanna go lower... lower more stress... but there's plenty of guys on coils with no problem... as for the h&rs... IMO the ride amazing, not quite as stiff as stock but still stiff which to me.. is better

My buddy had H&Rs on his 05 a few years back and whenever I was in that the ride seemed pretty nice. I think whenever you go lower there's added stress to the cars other parts just because it's not really meant to be lower, but sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to look pertyyy

Yeah I live in west virginia. Pot holes are killer. I really don't want to, but ill prob end up with sportlines again since h&rs are too low for everyday driving here and the pedders or whatever doesnt give me a good enough drop

Ya know if you wanted to experiment a bit. You could buy the H&Rs, run em for a while and see how they are. If there working for ya then keep em. If not, they'd sell like hot cakes on here and then with the money you sell them for you could buy your sportlines. Best of both worlds

Good idea lol. How fars your front lip off the ground? Also Have you had a full car yet? I wonder how it will ride with 4 people and a truck full of stuff on road trips.

Ha ha. You are really getting me sold on these. Other than my front flip/intercooler scrapping around here im going to prob get these. I have been reading on the SSC springs too so they are an option still. Decisions

either way you're going to get a good spring I think. haha moving is always an option. I just love how we think about completely changing the place we live just so our car can sit lower and ride better lol

Gotta love ED. I was going to get a trunk cus I'm going wingless but decided to get both front and rear lips instead cus I've got an NA.
Can't wait to see what the carbon hood and trunk look like together though cus I might be going that route down the road!
