shouldnt be a problem, possibly some in the rear. go to the wheel section and look for a similar setup. it should work without much trouble.

Naw man, go with the RACE springs! Better to do it right the first time H&Rs are notorious for "sagging" in the rear. Witht the RACE versions increased drop in the front, it works out to about even, just a slight rake. Check out some pics. BTW I had H&R sports and sold them to another A-CL member when I went race.


Secondly, the real answer to your question, lies in what dimension tires you plan on running.

I know you're going to your ride after these upgrades, Congrats!

I'm still debating between Volk GT-N:


and Volk CE28N:



Most likely the GT-N in 18x8. I will probably go with 225-40-18 tires.

MtBikR---I don't want my ride too low. I think the race springs drop the car a little over 2" right? That's a bit much for me. I have to drive my car everyday, and the streets in New Orleans are just horrible. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can't wait to order these. It'll take about 2 months to get here.
