I mention this for your safety and the possibility of handling "coming and going."
WHAT??

I'm sorry, but Quickurt, you will need to post some references to support your conclusion about tires too close to the damper causing overheating and performance changes.

I say this in a nice way

The whole hub assembly heats up from the brake rotor heat. I don't follow the reasoning about tires heating the damper? Brakes get 300 to 800 degrees, tires on a track may get to 200. There is something I am missing here.

And, to be fair to James, I don't intend this question to displace his question about spring clearance. Hopefully some others have some experience in the H&R Sport springs clearance.

...looking forward to your response,

Take care,
Ed
