I'd go with the upper perch. The H&R's are extremely low the way they are (JMO).

good luck

From what I've heard, the upper perch with the H&R is preferred.

Upper, otherwise you would have the drop of the springs, 1.5" plus the drop of the lower perch, .875", which equals 2.375" you'd be nearly on the ground:wink:

h&r's on the upper perch are about as low as you want to go...because of rear alignment issues with camber.

If you are going to use the lower perch you might as well just leave the springs off alltogether and save the weight, because they are not going to be holding the car up anyway.:smile:

You could always try the lower perch first. It isn't THAT low. And it'll still ride quite smoothly. You'll have the usual problems like reduced ground clearance and increased tire wear, but if you were trying to avoid these problems you wouldn't have lowered your car in the first place.

It comes down to personal preference.
