H&R + KYB's

Pleased to say im finally dropped. Today i dropped of my car while i went to class and had my H&R's , bolts and rear struts put in ( front were already done). I must say WOW. If anyone complains about handle DO THIS. The drop is advertized as 1.7 and 1.5.
I was in a hurry so i have not done the alignment yet but i asked the mechanic to set a slightly positive camber to allow the car to settle in. After about a day its looking good tho ive read people saying it takes about a week or two for them to fully settle in.

Originally i was going to do this myself but its just too cold and wet up here. The shop did a fantastic job tho and the car handles great. Actually feels like im on the road and not on a sail boat.

ill have some before and after pics when i get home.

Only problem ive had is a little rub on the plastic splash guard in the front wheel well but ill try adjusting it or something . There is no fender rubbing tho.

H&R's are great, Im just breaking mine in after a week or so and i still cant believe the difference. THe combination with the Tok's def persuade me to delaying the audio work for rear sway and front arm brace

thats weird... have you ever been in a wreck or something?? Mine don't do that. Oh and they will take about 3 weeks to fully settle or atleast thats what i noticed with mine. I did the Energy Suspension control arm bushings when i lowered mine to.Welcome to the H&R fam you're gonna love em!!

thats right it is 1.5 1.3 , my mistake i had something else on my mind. My car has never been in an accident but i am on 17's with 215/45 tires which could be the culprit. Altho same height they are wider than stock.

It does not seem like a big problem tho i will simply make an extension with a strip of plastic off a junk car and rivet it to the old one. This way i can use the same mount points.

yeah it's a good combination I guess...But untill you get the ST Rear Sway bar and front Strut Bar..You wont notice half the potential of great cornering.
But have fun with it.
