#27659, "H&R Race springs w/ tokico blues"


          

I've done some searching and I haven't really been able to come up with a decisive answer. I bought a set of H&R Race springs for my car, thinking that they were a mild drop (the sport springs). I looked at the wrong line on the list. After looking at the specs again I realized that they're a 2" drop in the front and 1.75" drop in the rear. That may be a little low for Maine, but I'm willing to try it. However, I only have Tokico blues for struts. I don't have money to spend on illuminas, Konis or AGXs, so thats out of the picture. Will that low of a drop still be ok on my Blues, or will it kill them pretty fast. I've heard the H&R spring is a pretty good spring...better than the Sportline in a comparable drop. Does anybody run, or have run, H&R race springs with Tokico blues? I love the look of that drop, and I autocross, so I know the drop will certainly be beneficial, but I dont want it to be too much. I keep going back and forth with it. Help me out guys!



She's been sold emoji My best friend bought her though, so she's still in good hands.

have tokico blue with tokico springs that dropped me about the same as your describing 2'' front 1.75 back. Had them on for a year and a half now and not a single problem yet.

Only thing i dont like is having to drive as carefully as i have to when going down a steep driveway or speedbump.

But as far as durability, i've heard people say that is to much in theory for the blues, but for me almost two years in they're working great. So take that fwiw.

Thanks for the reply. I decided that I dont want to risk blowing my struts, so I'm upgrading. I'm getting a set of AGXs and a set of Ground Controls. If anybody's interested in buying either the shocks or the springs, or as a package, let me know.
