Lowering Springs.
Hi guys,
I want to buy a set of H&R lowering springs for my car, as they the best out there?or are there other good brands too? Anything I need to know before making this mod? Know the H&R's drops the car by 30mm, it's my weekend car, so looking for something sportier looking aswell as something stiffer for my track days.

you will also need Tarett rear toe links~480$. the explaination is long. search the forum. just trust me you will need them to get the car back into alignment.
The drive is so much tighter and smooth. little bumpy. makes the car look great

I like my H&Rs
I just did H&Rs and Bilstien HD Struts. You can use the stock strut, but they wil not work as well, will wear out quicker since they are not designed to work with the new springs. I was able to get my car in spec for alignment, its at the very edge of spec, but I have not seen a bad result in tire wear or performance. Go for it, you will love the look, just watch out for speedbumps and entrances to parking lots etc.

I put Eibachs on mine - on the original struts. 1" drop, made a huge difference in apperance. No noticable uneven wear. Heres a pic...

If you are interested, I might be selling a very nice setup. Great for both street and track. 22-way externally adjustable rebound/compression (or maybe it was 23 way) OHLINs dampers, with Eibach springs.
OHLINS are top tier in the suspension game...
Not cheap, but if you want more info, let me know...

lowering springs
Thanks for all the help so far, have a good idea of whats going on now...Have any of you fitted extended adjustable toe links to the rear when doing a lowered spring mod? And anyone had problems with getting the car back into wheel alinement?
