the rear doesn't look too high to you? there's a good 2 finger gap right there versus one or half in the front.

Even at stock height the front is a bit lower.

but not that raked.... or maybe it isnt that noticable.

tony tone

right, but that's not what i'm saying. what i'm saying it that the stance isn't all that with these. it still rides high, especially in this pic.



maybe it's just me, but the rear needs to be lowered a bit.

H&R's are not the perfect ride....

Great stance, yes.

I was barely out of my driveway after installing my H&R's and noticed it was way too bouncy on the front. After about 5,000 miles, it's not so bad, but the bounce is still there. I've taken several 2 hour at a time trips with the car and it wasn't too bad. I don't regret using the H&R's regardless of the bounce, I just wish that wasn't there.

tony tone

it shouldn't bounce at all. maybe there's a problem with the shocks, or the bumpstop needs to be cut a bit.

When you change the spring rate to a firmer spring on the stock shocks (FE4) you can get some bounce even when the bumpstops are cut.

It may be the angle of that driveway as well. Normally there isn't any real gap on the rear. I will say that I wouldn't try to go much lower than this set up. The section width of the tires would definitely scuff the fender lip if you had any less travel and you took a hard hit to the suspension. Despite the fact I have spacers in the rear I always wondered if from time to time the *** end doesn't pump up occassionally depending on the road conditions.

This picture tries gives you a better idea of the true stance of the car. This shot was taken at the beginning of threshold braking when the weight is biased forward. The H&Rs do a pretty fair job of keeping the car level. Notice the ride height at the back and the fender gap at the rear.

I have noticed that when the car isnt sitting exactly flat(even) some wheels look tucked, and some sit high. the angle the car is sitting at may make it look like it needs to be lowered but my guess is that it isnt sitting on even gorund its articulating the surface.

tony tone

that is correct. i sometimes find myself wondering if i adjusted the coil-overs correctly when i see one side is tucking to the rim and the other side tucking some of the tire. it should simply tuck down to the middle of the sidewall portion of the tire al around, but an uneven surface can change all that.

bu, it's certainly the angle, because that other pic looks great.

conservative and classy. nice job.

looks great man, perfect example of my kit letting the spring decide how lor or not as low you want to go.

Yep, kit worked great, only complaint is that it was a lot more work then it looked IMO, removing the upper half of the back seat and stuff, but im sure it would have been different if i hadnt been tired after doing the hendrix axle kit right before lol.

yea i been there like 10 times. i'm sorry they put the shocks there too!

tony tone

oooohhh the memories of installing my coilovers. i mean, what a head ache to just try and tighten the nuts for the rear shocks.

i'd like to smack that engineer.

And to make it worse if you have the tan interior you have to wash your hands every 5 minutes so the back seat doesn't look like a hog pen.

So i guess i can expect to be frustrated pretty quickly when i lower mine right? lol

tony tone

i was laying flat on my back all the way inside the trunk with my head smashed up sideways against the rear seats just to get leverage to loosen/tighten the nuts.


have fun. i'm paying next time.
