H&R Sport Springs Drop **pics**

Got the H&R Sports put on today with Tokico HP Blues. Ride is the same if not better than the stock spring/shock setup. Sorry for the dirty car, but its been raining here everyday for like a week.

Comptech Axle-backs went on today too. Louder than I anticipated but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

So far the ride is the same if not better than stock. I had about 60k miles on my stock springs/shocks. No noise so far.

Once you get on the gas they aren't that loud, but they sure do droan on the highway etc. Anywhere between 1500-2500 RPM you are gonna hear 'em. They sound sweet leaving a stop light, at idle, or starting up though.

And yea they look orange. Must be the angle of the pic.

I've only driven with them for 30 mins. They are def louder than stock. I need time to get used to them. I might dynomat the bottom of the trunk to hold back a little droan if I don't get used to it. I could always get the quiet tips too.

Its about 1.5-1.75 in the front. About the same in the back. I'll post about camber issues tomorrow when I take it to the dealer to have an alignment done (and have my CT headers installed )

Remember camber issues vary CAR to CAR not SPRINGS to SPRINGS

Yeah thanks Kevin.

They saw my CT exhaust sitting in the trunk and decided to throw those on too for a few bucks so I couldn't complain. I'm sure Tischer would have charged around $60.

Thanks,

I bought my headers of a forum member yes, but he didn't post them in the black market. He saw I was looking for some and PM'ed me. Finally got a chance to jump on a set before others did like the first 3 times I tried to buy a used set

I paid $685 shipped and that included covering his paypal charge for collecting $$.

Shipping was $45.

You guys do the math. I got a really good deal.
