I am pretty sure that they used H&R springs for their set up, but i am not sure what spring rate they used. I think there is a post somehwere on this forum. you can do a search and find it. Otherwise, you can get in contact with H&R directly and find out what Evo sport purchased from them. Good luck. I hope this helps.


I also think that Jcart would have some information for you. He posts on this forum and is pretty informative.

Ok so I called H&R they have no idea what springs Evosport were using so no luck there at all,
I also called KW and they don't recommend lowering the car anymore than the lowest setting on the stock adjustment so they wont sell me springs, has anyone removed the adjustment stops on the coilovers and dropped the car below that point at all, I've read that people have done this I just cant see who has.

Curious as to why you want to go lower then the lowest factory setting
Have you encountered any handling problems at the track?

Yes I recall jrcart and maybe a few others stating they had... I don't think the perch stops are that hard to remove based on what I read in the archives.

I too tried to purchase lowering H&R springs and I reached out to Simon and Evosport and he said they were back-ordered and that it's a special set up they developed. I've sent him a couple of follow up emails, and he's gone dark on me.

I did find a shop that completed a H&R set up and he's waiting until the BS is in the shop to measure the tension springs and I'll be placing an order with them.

The name of the shop, is, BBI in Huntington Beach, I spoke with Betim.

I lowered mine as low as the factory settings will allow, and the back looks good, but the front looks too high, too much of a gap.

Good luck and keep me posted if you figure it out.

Thanks
Todd

The H&R "sport springs" stiffened the rear 10-15% which didn't help the rear traction. They achieved the lowering by adjusting the spring perches same as the stock one.
PM me if intested, I have a set.
