With H&R springs and the SS package you'll want to put on #4 pads in the rear because it drops the rears so low. Ebay sells the springs pretty cheap.

Rears on our cars use spring pads and there's 4 different thickness for the pads. The SS models use 1 I believe. Which are 3mm thick which gives it a lower stance. But since the H&R lower the rear more it causes the rake to be off. So many put #4 pad to raise it up or some non SS will install h&r front and the ss springs in the rear
