Finally someone with H&R springs. I’ve been asking for feedback, but none here has it. I had it on the Evo X and liked it. The drop looks even and subtle.

Drop should be a little less subtle if you have OEM wheel/tire. The tire he is running is about 0.8" shorter than the 245/30/20's

Nice. Any notable difference in responsiveness/handling with the lower center of gravity? I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of these. Narrowed it down between the Swift and h&r. The Swift has a little too much of a drop for how I drive over things like speed bumps or pulling out onto the road. Even now on stock height I'll scrape in some of my friend's driveways. Just as long as I can get rid of the wheel gap and not have the car look like it's squatting in the rear. Should fill out nicely with 265/35/18s.

Going to splurge on the RV6 rear sway bar as well. I'll have to gradually work my way up with it's stiffness so I don't go spinning out.

Not really looking forward to the installation of all of it

To be honest i havent really driven it hard enough to actually tell. Its not a huge drop so it feels the same for me. Its just normal daily driving... H&R makes quality products and it has no sag in the rear so thats why i went with these. Plus everyone does eibach.... think they will give you what your looking for without it being to aggressive

Had a shop install mine. Dont have all the tools to do all that, lol

Yeah the eibachs squat in the rear. Plus they have a stiffer front spring rate in the front. That's what I like about the h&r, stiffer rate in the rear.

I've done everything on the car so far with all the parts I've added plus maintenance. Would be a good (and frustrating) learning experience

Ive done majority of my add ons... springs were out of my comfort zone and the shop i went is really good. Plus they did my wheels and tires at the same time
