#8423, "Just put the H&R's on, looked piznimped."




          

I proudly add H&R Sport Springs to the list of mods. I love the way its looks now. Ridin on 18's for over a year at stock height was unbearable. I could fit my whole had thru my front gap, now I only get 2 fingers and it hasnt settled all the way yet. The back sits a little higher just like i was told it would, but thats coo, gives me an aggressive stance and it helps with braking i heard.

Now as far as lowering and having 18's. I have both now. And I didnt have to roll my fenders and I still dont rub unless I turn the wheel all the way to the MAX.. And it rubbed before i had the springs on, so nothing has changed. I really cant feel a handling diff. yet, but we'll see. Maybe I need strut bars.

Anyway, im letting it settle for a few days and then taking it in for the dreaded alignment to see how bad my camber is. Then I will do the 15 dollar mod in back and see how the front turns out.

Thats good to hear man. I agree too that a rear lower anti-sway bar is needed for the body roll. That should help greatly. Front and rear upper tower bars wouldn't be a bad idea either. I too didn't notice a huge difference in the ride over stock, but after them being on a while now, the ride seems much stiffer than when i put them on. I'm on stock struts too, which doesn't help too much. I'll get some adjustable struts when the money is available. Go ahead and do the rear camber mod at anytime, i needed all 4 washers and a few more on one side. Let the springs selttle for a few days. It only took mine about 2 days for full settle. Drive around some too to help..

is there a way to tell if camber is off without alignmnet, or do i need t get alignmnet first? cause what if i get alignmnet, see the rear is bad, so i do the washer thing. How do i then know if camber is better or if i need to add more washers? Do i need to go get another alignmnent done?

believe me your camber is bad in the back.. do the washer deal then take it to get alligned.. it may not be perfect but it will be close. when you lower more than an inch in the back the camber will need to be fixed.
