just arrived used H&R springs from eBay. still look like they are in awesome condition. All I need now are the Bilstein Sport Shocks, but that will have to wait until 08 because I am poor, and Rock Band > Shocks. hahaha

rivcal4life

awwhh you found a set!

how much did those bad boys cost you?

Saijin_Naib

They have on ebay pretty frequently. Ive been watching a set for god knows how long.

rivcal4life

I like how they put "100% Made in Germany"

As opposed to? 75% Made in Germany?

Kinda silly haha.

Saijin_Naib

They are german, NOTHING is left to chance.

YOUR THE ******* WHO OUTBID ME!!!!!



I'm not kidding hahaha...glad to see a forum member ended up with them though. POST PICS when there crunched on your ride

childofjuly

i too got out bided on that item..

CDP

Nice Melvin!

Swing by my pad whenever you get those suckers installed. Haven't seen you or your clean *** ride for awhile.

X03

got them on ebay for $200 shipped. Would have been a LOT less if you ****** didn't keep bidding at the last minute! hahaha but thats the way ebay goes.

appatula, as soon as i install them, you'll see pictures but i still need to buy the shocks so it might be a while..


Chris, I cant wait to get these suckers put on too. Springs, shocks, and your swaybars are all going to be going in at the same time

CDP

haha. Who's doing the installl?

If you're doing it yourself - Let me know if you need to borrow the spring compressor. The difference will be night and day once everything is installed.

X03

nah no way I could do it myself. I was going to take it into TWS once I get all the parts (or just have sanders order the shocks once I have the money). I'll hit you up for sure once I get this car to be where I want it.

CDP

haha. I could help but then again you know me and I'm pretty lazy.

Anyways, hit me up when you roll to TWS. I'll meet ya there so I can talk **** with Albert while hes working on your car. haha

So after buying rock band (which is awesome) i also have the bilstein sport shocks to go with my H&R springs! the guy also included the shock mounts which is nice

Hopefully these will be FTMWFMF!!! even though Chris thinks they are, and I quote, "FTMFL!" (the H&R springs that is)

MBhare

did you buy the ones on ebay that were this last week for sale and they were used from this guy selling them in texas??

X03

I did pick them up on eBay, but they are brand new...some guy in San Francisco

MBhare

O nice!!! There was a guy selling some used one h&r's this last week.. Im ready to buy some this week myself..
good luck on the drop!

V9.

I got my H&R's put on too along with Bilstein sports....good choice you're gonna love them! It completely transforms the car and perfect drop imho.

Your suspension setup isn't FTMFW or FTMFL.

It's FTMFHUAPTDTOFFS!



(For the mf hurry up and put the damn things on for f sake! )

CDP

+1

Let me know when you're going to put them in Melvin. Let's just go to HMS.

Saijin_Naib

^ YAY! YOU are off probation!

Seriously, I want to see this car with the new suspension. I need some pictures to carry me through the rough times without my baby :C

CDP

I know - They forgot to take me off after 4 months. LOL I was only suppose to be on Probation for a couple weeks ora month at most.

X03

yeah HMS sounds koo, will this Friday Feb 1st work for you?

Quick question, will I need to get a rear camber kit? The drop 'should' be around 1.5in and my friend told me that I shouldn't really need them unless I plan on slamming the car. any thought on whether I need one or not?

CDP

You won't need them.

Friday sounds good brotha. It's my day off.

Bigpete123

I have the same exact suspension setup. Unfortunately, I went through my first set of tires pretty quickly. The rears wore on the inside edge, indicating that I should've bought a camber kit.

So fwiw, I would get a kit and install it at the same time. I bought the benzboy camber kit but have been too lazy to install it! lol

If you rotate your tires frequently (more frequently than recommended in this case), you'll probably be fine.

ksing44

I agree, but what do I know. I would also ask around for tips about the spring pads that were used on the same set-up, since that can be an expensive pain in the neck to redo if you don't like the way your car sits after everything is installed. I think I remember that H&R lowered the front more than the rear, so guys were running an extra bump in the front. I have Eibach, so I don't know for sure.

For one thing, you will only need one alignment $$ if you do everything at the same time.
