FK8 x H&R Springs anyone =?

[san44]

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.

Nice! I like the drop as well. What’s your tire size?

265/35/18 - haven't done an alignment yet. Going to wait a week or two before doing it so the springs settle. So far no rubbing in the back I had all 4 of stock wheels in the back, did a couple of you turns, full lock, no rubbing.

Have a source as to where you got the springs from?

Did you have to cut the bump stops? Using any camber arms?

Just got mine installed

I noticed it was a lot more bumpier with the stock 20" wheels. Once my new set up went on, it was a little better but I still feel like something is off.

I knew it was going to be stiffer but something about the dampening feels strange and it doesn't seem to rebound as well. For one, I didn't cut the bump stops so I may try doing that before getting an alignment. Drop is good though, I didn't want anything crazy low. With the stance being raked, it looks better than most springs which I find are a bit droopy in the rear.

I have swifts and immediately noticed the same thing once springs were on. Car behaves very differently especially when entering turns when the car is pushed a little. I drove my car for almost 2 years before adding springs so it was easily noticeable. Someone recommended a rear sway bar to me which I have but haven't installed it yet. I have since gotten used to it, but I don't think its as good as stock

Ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one lol And another plus that it's not the spring issue

When I take a corner, I feel as though the front suspension doesn't "load" up at corner entry. It makes it feel unstable when pulling out of corners. Almost as if my car is hovering around the corner instead of planting itself if that makes sense.

I expected some performance loss putting the springs on the OE struts but didn't expect it to be this different. Overall, car is 90% a street car and 10% track (if then), so I am okay with it for now but damnnnn does the new driving characteristics annoy me lmao

On stock rims with 245 35 20 tires, 3 hours on i75 with dips and bumps I didn’t notice any rubbing.

No camber arms needed. Front pins were pulled out to allow for better adjustments if required. Instructions do not state to cut bump stops. I drove the car home with all 4 stock rims/tires in the back and a passenger over a semi bumpy road. No rubs, bumps, slams or noise. 2 weeks down the road the car has settled a bit more so it's time for an alignment. I'm super happy the way the car sits and drives.

My mechanic ordered them and said that was the last set in the US. That was a little over a month ago.

Installed H&R springs the other day...
No rubbing whatsoever even with 4 full size adults. My wife cant tell the difference between stock & these springs which is great! Left the bumpstops alone. Super happy with the drop. Glad we are still able to take advantage of the adjustable dampning.

Did you lose any handling?
