Post New H&R Springs 4matic?

Notice this recently but don't know if its old news. H&R released a new set of sport springs for 4matics. It lowers 1.2 all around, which is the same as Eibach. But I thought the 4matics already had sport springs and super sport that people on the forum are using already

Will this drastically lower the front? My car is already a decent amount lower with the carlsson style CF front lip

how much clearance do you have from ground to the lip? according to the site it drops 1.2 inches more.

How much is the typical fee to get your springs installed?


Thanks!

Thanks for the info. The springs weren't out at the time when I had the car in Toronto and been out of town. Been over 1 year and will be heading back in a few months. That is why I came on the forum to check around lately. I guess my only option are the springs right now until they come out with coils. Another problem is that even if I wanted no gap, I am afraid I'll have trouble with the bumps and underground ramps at the apartment where I live because I do plan on getting front lip as well.

Also, have you had 18" on the car with the springs or did you change to 19"s right away when you lowered it?

Thats good to know. Are driveways giving you so much problems? I can't imagine going lower than sports if that is the case or with the roads in Toronto.
