Anyone have pics of H&R race springs on CLS??

Only pics I've seen are mattg's with his lowered Koni struts.

Anyone have pics of H&R race springs on stock shocks or normal-perched Konis?
Thanks.

Still considering Konis and H&R race springs instead of Teins. Figure they'll last a consistant stiffness longer than coilovers. Plus I'm tired of messing w/ my car's suspension.

How many miles on them?
What stiffness settings?
What height you ridin' at?

They're nice coilovers!

Really though I'm kinda tired of the stiff suspension the coilovers give. I think I want the more refined feel of springs/struts again. :-\
Softening the coilovers isn't really an option because then they just bottom.

i've had them in for about 3 months, i guess. i'm not total sure. i'm not sure how many miles i put on them. i only have 11500 on my car now. The ride feels just like stock, i have the settings set on halfway. i have both camber kits and it's not totaly slamed. Just nice and low so i don't bottom out or smack the control arm on the top of the strut tower.if u want me to measure how high i am, i will. The TEINS are compleaty rebuildable. if they break or fluid leaks out, send them back to the company and they rebuild them. If i didn't have the camber kits in, i could slam it all the way. I like to do my shit right, ya know.Good luck

A nice side shot on level ground would answer all my questions, and yes I've seen that one, but thanks.

Interesting. That's a much better drop than other H&R sport springs I've seen. Usually the ass is visably sagged a bit (less wheelgap in rear). Yours look good. I await Matt's pics of the race springs.

Still hard to tell. I think I might just say "screw it" and get them and live with however the drop looks. Thanks for the pics.
