H&R sport spring kit contain 2 front springs. Rear are lower with Star Diagnostics. Ride is definitely firmer than stock, much less body roll. And it look much better especially with 22". more to come this week!

Stock with 22"


Lowered with 22"

Grats it definitely looks better after you lower it. What happened to your center caps after lowering?

DonMario2k

that looks just amazing.

how much did the whole setup cost you, and did you put it in yourself?

XRX

I've got some "B" caps

DonMario2k

how much did you pay for it?

XRX

$300 for install the front springs and $300 for Star Diagonstics rear. Is all depends on where you get it done. I heard someone from the other board paid $400 all together.

XRX

Car still dirty, took some pics before dropping it to body shop

DonMario2k

the first pic looks sooooo bada$$

so you paid 600$ for the springs plus the install?

that's a steal!

How much was the total drop? It seemed to have dropped alot, looks real good. How is the ride? Is it bouncy, or is it stiffer? Seems as though the rear did not compensate as they said it would after the front was lowered.

XRX

Actually I've paid $600 + $235 H&R springs.

XRX

With my 265-35-22, the overall diameter is 0.5" taller than stock. After the H&R spring, I have 1.5 finger gap left compare to 5-6 at stock. Ride is stiffer for sure, if your wife drive it, I'm sure she will notice it. For me, it look 100% better and improve the handling, love it so far!

Brabus center caps looks great.

I really mean that when you drop the R, you get a new car if you think design. I would realy like to lower mine to XRX's level, but with the airmatic I've been adviced not to....

DonMario2k

same here.

but there is some kind of module to control the airmatic airbags. a shop here would do the work for 2000 bucks, but that's a lot of money :-/

XRX

$2k? Renntech lower module will cost you $1395 + install, lower linkage from adjustableairride.com are $300 for a set of four, if your R only have air at rear like my R500, half kit is $150. Or Star Diagnostics will depends on the shop/ dealer. I paid $280 for the rear. All of the above options will not cost you $2K.

DonMario2k

it's probably the renntech lowering module i assume.

where do you get these numbers from?

dewdaltz

interested on your side marker. did you have it done thru a body shop or just DIY and what brand & number (if any) of black paint that would match the car color. Please let me know, thanks. your R is coooool.

XRX

I've covered the orange side marker with 2 layer of black vinyl sticker that you can buy from local art supply store. The light bulbs are on at the pictures and the vinyl covered it 99%. You don't even have to remove the side marker to install, and it can un-do when needed.

Why didn't you use spring in the rear also?

XRX

When I received my H&R package, it only come with 2 front springs then I found out all the R come with air suspension from the rear. You may check any R in NA, there are no springs at the rear, just airbags.
