I actually got the springs from understeer.com- $225 & the bilsteins from bavauto.
It lowered it so far about 1.5 all around. It is still settleing tho and will likely drop more.

Thanks, I think they give it that classy touch. Performance wise you can't get better than OEM either..

fyi : H&Rs don't settle.... other brands do, but H&Rs are heattreated and pre-settled. It may drop a little bit due to shocks breaking in a tad, but the springs will be that height for another 200,000 miles or so :P

I kept dreaming that my H&Rs would settle more someday, but its still the same height since day 1, several thousand miles later. Called H&R and several other H&R owners and they all said the same thing.

Thanks cruzin.


After the first drive I noticed it "settled" some. Prolly from like you said the struts/shocks and different rims working in. I am happy with the height and hope it doesn't get any lower.

[B_w.]

i dont think i would want them any lower. for the summer a little lower would be nice but i sometimes bottom out over speed bumps even when going very slow plus i drive my car through winter so it is impractical to have a really low car. youre car looks good.
