#8687, "Springs on 18's.... Before and After Pics"




          

Here are some before and after pics of my car on 18's. I bought H&R Sport Springs. Big Difference! And to anyone else wondering about rubbing, i still dont rub.


REAR GAP BEFORE(Full fist could fit)


REAR GAP AFTER (squeeze 3 fingers now)



FRONT GAP BEFORE
I cant find the before pic, but trust me, it was big. I could fit my full fist inbetween the gap.

FRONT GAP AFTER (1 finger and a half now)

they "say" they are 15% stiffer than stock. I really cant feel a difference. Maybe im just not tuned into suspension stuff. If you really examine your ride quality maybe u will see a diff. but i didnt.

I, much like extremeRS, got em from tirerack.com. They were 211. Shipping was like 10 bux or so i forgot the exact amount.

Overall I like them alot. If you seen my car before I had the springs, it looked like I was a tank ready to go into Afghanstan or some shit. lol. Only thing i wish was better was that the rear would go down as far as the front did.....But i hear that the rear harder to get down as far. Only thing I could think of is because the rear weighs much less than the front.

man how far are those springs supposed to drop you cuz mine were supposed to drop me about 1.6" but I have less wheel gap than you with my 17/50/215's I thought the H&R springs had a more aggressive drop than mine, but I guess thats not the case

now that I look at the pics again the front drop is about the same, but I can barely fit a finger in the rear

I dunno, Xtereme RS, your rear didnt drop as much either right? Maybe once i put my sounds back in, it will drop a little more..
