FK8 x H&R Springs anyone =?

[billabongrob]

It has a higher rear spring rate than stock, whereas stock has a higher front spring rate. This is common in car manufacturers in order to induce understeer in loss of traction versus oversteer. That’s mainly done to because most people are more comfortable in that situation. That said, I have no input, but ordered this spring and am waiting to install for the reason stated above; I prefer the car to rotate on track.

Well in that case I’m placing the order. It’s on back order, plus I’m getting it for 217 shipped from TH Motorsport when back in stock.

Had a shoot done recently and liked how this one came out. Really does transform the car!

Beautiful ?
How's the ride quality, did you cut bump stops, and are you running rear camber arms?

H&R springs with Advan wheels must be a new thing.

Hello, thank you!
The ride quality is still very compliant, no complaints there.
Personally, I like R mode more now than Sport.

Sometimes I have to drive the baby around so I couldn't go with something more aggressive.

From what I can tell, the bump stops were not cut.
I am currently not running any camber arms, and since the tires run a bit wide (265/35/18 AD08R), I had to modify the rear fenders and remove the front guide pins to get a bit more room.

How would the H&R springs fair with te37's on a 44m offset running 265-35-18? The 44mm should be much less aggressive than 38?

Anyone running these with the AWE touring exhaust? Very specific question I know, but their 180 drone thing already sits pretty low in the back. Afraid if I add any lowering spring it’s going to put the back of that exhaust too close to the ground for my comfort.

Or any aftermarket exhaust with a large/low profile?

I have awe touring with these and have had 0 issues

It differs by exactly 6mm (the wheel will sit 6mm more inside the fender compared to with +38mm offset)

Yeah I figured the math part

I'm guessing there should be no rubbing issues with that setup. Also the tire selection will affect it, tread width. I read a lot of guys went with the Indy 500 and have no issues.

Just got my H&R springs installed and TE37 Saga wheels mounted. Super impressed with the quality of springs. It's just low enough for me. Car is super dirty.
