i installed H&R springs on my car several months ago

the back end still looks stock with about 3-4 finger gap

the front is perfect, not even a finger can fit

i was wondering if it's supposed to settle more or did i put them in wrong

to tell i need a picture of the rear suspension of someone with H&R springs or pretty much any lowering

spring to see if i put them on upside down or something.... or if that would even make a difference

I've searched and searched but can't find a shot of underneath the car with the springs installed

 

Not normal, check your install.

 

the only thing that could be wrong is if they're upside down

but i have no way of telling

 

Pull them out and flip them over.

If it drops, then they were in wrong.

 

i did

i didn't notice a difference so i flipped them back over after a couple days

 

lol flipping the rear springs wouldn't make a diff, the same weight gets applied.....

can we see a pic of what your talking about??

 

could the fronts maybe belong on the back and visa versa?

 

If he effed that up, thats epic fail. The front and rear springs don't even look similar, lol.

i'm looking for a picture similar to this one... because when i had them on upside down the spring was more compressed at the bottom. is that what i want?



see how it's more compressed at the top

thank you for that thread

i could not find it anywhere although i never thought to search coil bind haha

and there is no way i could have put the front in the back on accident

 

lol

 

****

they're on the right way but the wrong color

maybe i have a different kind like the pro kit and the sportlines

 

the spring should have the brand on it

 

Mine looks similar to stock still too. The h&r sports don't realy drop the back as much as they say.

 

ok i didn't realize there were two different types of h&r's

i guess that's just how they are

 

Your springs should have a part number. The race springs are 50735.88 and the sports are 50735.2. The race springs have little drop in the rear, but quite a bit in the front. The sports drop the front pretty low as well as the back.

Here is SS/SCking's car on h&r race...


And here is my car on h&r sports...

 

I have H&R Race springs the back just sits a bit higher period. I see my coil bind pics have been posted always. But yes H&R have sport and race versions of there springs. red are race blue/black are sport
