I have H&R springs with #2 pads in front and #3 in the rear and my car sits pretty level.

if you don't want to replace stock shocks, i'd use #1 and #2 rear pads instead of lowering springs.

i just removed the front #5 pad with bilstein sports...rides good. the rear is currently sitting higher. i'm guessing if i use a number down in the rear, it will sit close to level or a lil' higher in the rear without load and parked.

Go outside right now and look under your car. At the top of the coil spring you will find these so-called spring pads.

Count the number of "bumps" or "dots" on the front and rear spring sets. Then, report back to us.

So uh.... i was wondering.... what are the main differences between H&R Springs and H&R Sports Cup?

- Is the only difference that the H&R Sports Cup are the Springs and Shocks combo? is that it?

- What about performance-wise?
