H&R Sport/Tokicos are on, luvin it

just got my suspension done, the H&R sports are comfy, yet firm enough to improve handleing, i do feel the smaller bumbs a bit more, but the car handle so much better. If i had known there was this little sacrifice needed to improve the handleing this much, i would have done it sooner,

i notice the most differnce on long, fast turns like freeway ramps, but on sharp corners im still getting bodyroll, i guess now i need to save money on sways.

only draw back is the heavy system i have in the trunk making my car seem a little saged at the end (2 12w3, amps, plust lots of MDF), i got these springs used so i dont think their seattle lower,

the stock tires are screeching like hell now when i turn fast., ordered some 215/55/16 bridgestone S0-3 by mistake (was ganna order 225) , but its okay at least i dont have to worry about the rear rubbing, and it will make my rim look bigger.those should arrive by thursday. cant wait to put them on. these baby are expansive, cost me $580 on tirerack.

shocks cost me 300, and 100 for the install, springs cost me 90 (used)

the height is perfect, unless you have a system in the back, if you do,i would suggest using a 1/2 inch spacer in the rear, that way even when you take the system out, it wont go up that high.

but if your got the money, and you think ur ganna be raising it and droping it all the time........go for the teins........

I'm assuming you got the tokico blues? Either that or you got a damn good deal on the illuminas! Congrats!
