Anyone using H&R springs on their car???

[JDMjoe]

Found a killer deal on some just wondering if anyone on here has used them before. I believe its the race version(2.5F & 2.25R)drop. Thanks

no there 1.4 or 1.7 i think he said... def. not 2.5.

the eibach's were the 2 inch drop.... geez man pay attention

I'm using neuspeed springs (which are the same as h&r).


Those springs have a pretty high spring rate, so make sure you match a good strut with them (koni yellows). I'm rocking the sport version (since I'm not making a race car a) match with a set of gr2s and my car is only a tab bit stiff than stock.

Eibach sportlines are 1.7, one set of h&r's are 2.5 and 2.25. But you don't remember for sure and im sure he doesn't either.

Yeah honestly im gonna rock stock stuts because A im broke and B i have a second set of oem struts, but i have been looking around for some new struts. Im sure those oem struts will last maybe a month or two but it will be ok lol

I saw some tokico hps for like 230 something free shipping so i may go with those.
I would like to get the eibachs instead but they ride higher in the front for some reason :thinking: If i get those i might be taking a half or full revolution out the springs.
You coming out to the honda meet tomorrow???

well you can't go wrong with both springs :goodjob:

as for struts, I wouldnt go anything less than AGX's (even tho my setup isn't bad, I still kick myself now)

I may stop by, but I gotta do some homework 1st.

Yeah i had AGX's on my old DC, i liked them but im on a budget until summer comes around *hopefully* Yeah man ride through, ill be the long haired hippie amidst the crowd. I might be in my blue hatch but im not sure yet....

i have the H&R sport springs with tokico blue struts...i have them on the car for about 3 years now and they are absolutely wonderful. great combination of handling and comfort....

i have some h&r race springs and kyb gr2's, very decent ride but i just dont like the hotrod stance. but other than that they were very nice.

Hotrod in the aspect of it being lower in the front than the rear?

[jadakid88]

exactly, but thats only only when the car is at a stand still when your driving it levels off.

huh?

[jadakid88]

whats so confusing i said that on my at a stand still the car's drop would be lower in the front but when i was driving it would level off and the stance would equal.

It's not confusing, it just don't make sense. Your car even outs when driving, but jacks up (rear) when at a standstill. That doesn't sound great :???:

[Elbow]

I had H&R race springs on my EF, loved them

[jadakid88]

it wasnt a big difference and thats how most springs were made in the 90's especally for mkIII supras call them ask them about. they will tell you thats they made it. if the springs were at the same ride height, when you would launch o take off the rear would be lower than the front. so like i said before at a stand still the car would look sort of hot rodish and be lower in front than the rear, but on take off/driving the car would be the same ride height.

I like the lower front especial on DC's.... Thanks for the replies everyone!

[Rican219]

I Have H&R's They are awesome

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

I know you didnt mention Tein but get some Tein S Tech springs. Tein says the S Tech's are fine with OEM struts. Plus they will ride pretty good with tein's progressive spring rates(almost near stock). The tein s tech for a 92' civic lower it Approx. 1.8 F and 1.7 B. After you install them make sure to get an alignment or else you will be buyin new tires in 6 months.

You coming out to the honda meet tomorrow???Get a pair of cheap "coil-over" sleeves off ebay and raise or lower to even it up ;)

The S-Techs are strictly for show, they have no benefit otherwise.

The benefit is that its gonna be lower with good ride quality. Ya dig!:goodjob:

[B_Hoov]

mustang is SLAMMED on h&r's and it's stiff as $hit, has no body roll, straight up pitches sideways at 60+

Tein's website says nothing about the S Tech springs being "strictly for show" lowering springs. I dont know where your getting that from. No offence. I was merely tryin to help the guy out, he said that he didnt have the $ for new struts so i suggested the tein s tech. Crown Vic's ride pretty good by the way.lol. If you get H&R springs get the sports.:goodjob:

[sogood]

H&R race springs are good springs, but they are a little on the soft side for the drop they give.

Also running them with stock shocks is an awful idea, but whatever works for ya'...

[B_Hoov]

we have STIFF ones on the stang, 1000lb i believe w/tokicko 5 way adj and as i said before...rigid and stiff as can be!
