H&R Coilovers Installed

Exxxtacy · 09-03-2014, 07:35 PM

I finally got them after waiting 6 long weeks

. Big shout out to Elliot at Mod Bargains for the hook up and good pricing.

So last night after my buddy got off work we decided to throw them on

after a nice little wash.

here is a recent shot of the car before. Not best but still does justice.

The front is turned down all the way and the rear is set to about half. The rear is just a 1/4 inch off from the front. Wasnt enough to make me jack it back up and do it all again. Ill save that for another day lol.

Overall im extremely happy with them. It took me forever to decide and pull the trigger but going with the H&R were exactly what i wanted.

oh and one shot of my license plate to end this

Congrats!

You sure the fronts are down all the way? I feel like that should kill all wheel gap. Either way, welcome to the club!

Just for reference (I'm on V3's):

I believe the H&R's are supposed to go a smidgeon lower than the KW's.

yeah they are down all the way. i dont believe the would lower the front anymore then your v3s. Im pretty sure the V3's give the most low for our cars. could be that im on tiny 17's

Sidewinderpb · 09-04-2014, 07:41 AM

I'm on 17s too. That's weird though. When I was shopping around, both my tuner and vendor(s) on here had advised me that the H&R's go lower

JaysBlueE92 · 09-04-2014, 09:46 AM

H&Rs definitely go lower than that up front. They go slightly lower thank kw v1/v3 but not by much. If you are on 17s you should be tucking tire

Sidewinderpb · 09-04-2014, 10:24 AM

Rears should go a lot lower too, since they're the same as the RWD rears.
