H&R installed yesterday....

thanks to my bro Nick at applied motorsports for the quick install of my new H&R springs...switched form Bilsteins with stock springs on lower perch to Bilsteins with H&R on upper perch...didn't really drop the fronts much, but the 1/2 drop on the rear was a huge improvement in looks to me...I love it!!! Finally have the car exactly how I want it looking...

here is a quick before and after...just a subtle drop, but big difference....

Interesting. So what's your height front to rear? What's your rake angle now?

We measured from the ground to the top of the wheel well.. Went from about 26 1/4 in to 25 3/4 rear and 24 1/2 to 24 1/4 front on 17/18 wheels... About a slight 1 1/2 inch rake...

How is the ride? I have the same Bilsteins and stock springs set up now but would like the car lower. I have a set of H&R but am debating if I should just get the BC Coilovers. I would hate a harsh ride.

Really, it rides better than stock springs? I thought the H&R are much stiffer. I am surprised that the front did not drop much though. It should have dropped another 0.75 inches compared with Bilstein/stock springs on low perch, no?
Thanks for the info.
Steve

Prolly cuz my stock springs were 23 years old... But yes, it seems a bit softer then before... It dropped the front little bit more the .25 inches up front after going to upper perch...
