The H&R spring will it still mess up the struts even if you dont take a spring pads out? how many fingers can you fit with 19's thru your wheel well?

What size of read pads did you use and which H&R springs did you get? How is the ride after the upgrade, harsher? I can't decide if I should get the eibachs or the H&Rs. I have 17" wheels and don't want to break my neck every thime I hit a bump on the "perfect" Jersey roads. Good looking car by the way.

Thanks

I didn't change anything other than the springs. I got the H&R sport springs and I think that's all they offer or at least at the time that was it. In my opinion, I think with 17" wheels and the factory struts, you won't notice too much of a difference. I like the way my car rides as a daily driver. If I was going to do any auto-x I'd replace the struts too. In my car if you hit a pot hole or abrupt bump, you feel it for sure, but all in all it's not bad. You should have no problems as long as you drive cautiously and avoid any major obsticles.

I had both H&R (lowest/stiffest) and Eibach (lower/stiffer) on 2 of my previous cars (both have Bilstein Sport), the eibach is a little bit softer comparing to H&R. So depends on your preference, you'll feel every bumps with either springs anyway, just go real sloooooow when you approach a speedbump.
