Installed H&R springs today

Just got back from the shop. Installed H&R sport springs #50735-2. 1.5''F/1.4''R.
The ride is great. The drop is great. Couldn't be happier. Take a look.

That's too bad. But remember, Eibachs say 2.0''F/2.5''R for the LS and LT models.
For SS its 1.3'' or something.

new springs do have to settle though. give it some time. but it should have dropped it a little bit, then as time goes on it gets lower.

look in my gallery youll see what I am talking about , they are almost 2 weeks old and I deff did not get ripped off , the springs have the part number written on them in white and I had the box as well , the were from TTR and had a receipt in the "enclosed package list" in a little baggie thing on the envelope , I MADE SURE they were real.

less than you think. when i had mine it looked bad too and there was nothing that needed to be adjusted.
I agree too on H&Rs>sportlines. I have posted this MANY times in the suspension forum. Everyone just likes to crawl on the old bandwagon tho.
You made a great choice! Looks great! Loving the black TC. Also dont forget to get some Koni yellows


theres mine

can any one take a picture of what the rear springs look like installed. i have the sport lines and the dam springs are pretty much fully compressed. i only have like one coil that travels, the rest is fully compressed

x2!

Even though, I have a base model, there was definitely a HUGE difference.

Sportlines are known for their amazing ride quality as well, perhaps, in my opinion, the best of any other springs out for our cars.
