Guys with H&R Sport Springs, What the ride quality like????
 
Hi Guys,

Looking to go with H&R lowering springs, any drastic changes in ride quality?

I dont have the p30 option so as long as the ride stays similar what it is now i would want to see it little but lowered.

Thanks!

Ride quality is the same as stock, Handling as improved slightly.
In terms of looks, the car looks nice and planted.

I love the look of my H&R drop, and I find the car handling has improved. The ride is a little stiffer than stock, but nothing drastic.

You guys are the best!! Thanks for the feedback.

Next is possibly SS brake lines? anyone go with this?

What did your alignment specs end up being with the H&R springs.

No problem.

Pretty crappy ride quality if you ask me but the stock ride wasn't all that good to begin with.

Roswell 06-17-2011 07:44 AM

Thanks AMG for the infos on the alignment... I have yet to do mine since my dealership machine is not working yet (they are on renovation).

As I can see, the H&R drop is very minimal therefore the before & after alignment are very similar specs.

No problem Roswell.
The car was puling very slightly to the right before alignment but nothing major. Just wanted to get the alignment to be on the safe side.

Thank you! :)

The springs have settled in a little bit more since I took those pics.

JeffDL 06-17-2011 03:35 PM

the ride isn't good but the ride on a stock car isn't good. the change really isn't that much.

edit: the drop isn't much H&R states .75" all around.
