Hi Guys,
I installed a set of H and R race springs on my 3rd Gen TL. I always noticed the rear sat slightly lower than the front before i installed the H and r's. When purchasing springs i made sure to find a spring that dropped lower in the front to fix this, but after the install the drop was lower but the fender gap was still higher in the front? They were advertised to lower about an inch more than the rear. I knew they would settle after a few miles were run on them, but it's been over a month now, and i commute over 60-70 miles a day 5 times a week. I've searched threads on this, but still have no clear answer on why. Any answer will be GREATLY appreciated i need to get this headache fixed Thanks in advance!

 

Pics?

 

maybe something like this?

 

Did you happen to install those springs on stock struts?


I remember someone installing the same springs on stock struts and voiced the same concern.

seems the op was shipped the wrong springs. His car is a 6mt and received automatic springs.

 

Well i can't seem to upload my pics, but it's about an inch difference. The rear is tucking slightly while the front has about a finger between the fender and tire. I'm running 18x8.5 wheels with a 225/40/18 tire.

They are on stocks. Even with stock struts if the fronts were supposed to drop lower than the rear it would have atleast balanced out the fender gap all around right?

 

I have an automatic so if i received the springs for the 6MT then it would have just sat lower. I really wish i could get these pics up to give you a visual, But if you look at the link FlyRomeo3 posted in here it's pretty close to that. Thanks for the replies guys!
