Question Need some advice!

Hello everyone,

I really need some advice. I am now looking for something to lower my car and make the car rides and feels stiffer. After doing some research, I come up with either the H&R sport springs or the H&R coilovers. Since I am not seeing the track in the near future, I am not really into the pricey kw's yet.

For the street performance, do you guys think the H&R springs are enough for the c63 or it's better to have a set of coilovers?

I also heard someone said, if I am just switching the stock springs to the H&R spring will harm the stock shocks. Is this a bad thing or a good thing?

Thank you so much!

Tim

You will be fine with H&R spring on stock shocks. It's a mild drop. I've been running this set-up for almost 2 years now, no problem.

If you want to go lower or be able to adjust, go coilovers... it's a matter of preference.

Thank you so much! Will the performance has a big big different between them? Or the spring works as close as the coilovers?

HR springs are made to work with the stock set up. However for an optimum set up the cool overs would be the best way to go.

Springs are good. Coilovers might be a little overkill for what you want to accomplish look and ride wise.

i'm thinking of the h&r spring setup for a not so agressive drop - and not too expensive too :-) - and the p30 setup is too stiff! but i'm ok with it, my kids complains it's too 'bumpy' though...

^^ Thanks Will the spring cause the ride become less comfortable?

Do I also need to put spacers? Will they improve the handling a bit or just the look.
