H&R Springs Before and After Pics finally!

[Donkeyboy]

so i finally found my digital so i got my before and after photo's from my h&r springs on my vector... being that it already sat 10mm lower... i only got about an inch lower in the front and half inch in the rear... rides much nicer than before... i will be upgrading to coilovers on the spring but for now here are some pics! soon to come h&r 15mm and 25mm spacers!!! happy bday to me

more pics

one thing i must say i love about the h&r's, even though there not quite as low as i like, they do sit perfectly level! which is a major plus .... it also rides nice and doesnt bottom out at all with 4 passengers! and to eliminate any doubt about the spacers... yes i will be rolling my fenders and modifying the bumper bulge in the rear fender... ordered the eastwood fender rolled a couple days ago... ill have pics of the car with spacers before and after with reviews as soon as i get them and put them on!!!

Car looks sooo much better with the drop! Gotta love those H&R springs

And looking forward to hear more from you!

Car looks great. Not too low like a ricer but plenty low enough. Did you/do you plan on changing shocks and struts also?

[SaabGT28R]

i have the h&r's to and they are no where near low enough for me, with the coilovers you are taking about how much lower can you go??

you can slammmmmm that b!#$@ to the ground....i highly doubt that coilovers wont be low enough for you lol

I would definitely recommend the 15mm and 25mm spacers. I just put that exact combo on my car and it really made a difference in the stance. I will say I have almost no rubbing though and that is with lowering springs and 18" wheels so you may not need the fender roller. I did however buy one just in case I needed it.

[Donkeyboy]

to answer some questions... no i did not replace the struts... i fugured since i was eventually going to coilovers i would leave them stock... the coilovers i plan to go with are the D2 RS coilover... high quality from a new company so the price isnt bad and people seem really happy with them so far... as far as i know it can go very low! porbably lower than i plan to go... i think im probabyl going to go another 3/4 in the front and 1/2 in the rear... as for the fender roller i also plan to have everything rolled for any future 19's i might buy ... spend all that money on wheels and tires i dont wanna rub them off so i will cover all bases... thanks for all the compliments also!

D2 is 1500 bucks for the same adjustments as ksport but ksport is $900

sweet, looks good! i also have the h&r's. can't wait to see them with the spacers, i was thinking about doing this instead of getting new rims to put that extra money towards a ppc stg1

[xtopherrr]

oh and be careful, you say it doesn't bottom out, but watch out for your front lip. mine is kinda scratched up and we don't really have any potholes or steep hills where i live.

[Donkeyboy]

well i am a veteran when it comes to driving lowered cars so the front lip has more than enough clearance for all the places i drive... only problem i have is when i take me car to the dealership to have an alignment done... and when i ask them to let a specific tech do it and they allow some kid to do it.... then this kid proceeds to drive my car straight into the alignment machine which in return cracked and broke the lip in two places along with some serious spider cracks in the paint!!! yeah needless to say i as thrilled... they are almost fully compensating me for it though

[9-3gotboostAERO]

they better fully compensate you for it.

looks good man nicely done

[rogan]

Yeah, why almost? It's clearly their fault, it should be 100%.

[awjones]

I would never let somebody that makes $8 an hour drive my car....

[Donkeyboy]

yeah wasnt my choice... i requested my buddy brian and they let some stoner do it! anyways there was one small crack in the lip existing so they were not able to compensate me fully... 75 percent... but with that money im going to redo the lip and have it painted cheaper than buying a new one... after all since im going lower i will most likely hit it on at least unexpected road kill

you car looks noice! props!

Sorry to bring an old thread back up, but does anyone (including the op of course ) know the part number for those springs? Or how much they lower in mm or inches? And you think those will rub with 19 x 8.5 wheels?
