Ordered some springs, anyone with experience need some help
i ended up buying some h&r race springs off dred87 (i think thats his user name) I now have the 6mt aspec suspension and i love the feel but its just not low enough for me , esp. in the front. I love the drop on the h&r's and if its stiffer i'll live with it. I wanted coilovers but wont have the money for them anytime soon, having surgery next week. my question is to anyone who has or had these springs what camber kit if any should i run and front rear or both. also how will these feel with oem shocks vs buying some tokiko blues from dipset_tl possibly in the near future. i searched for h&r race but not too many people are running that setup, so any help would be great. thx guys and gals

how many miles are on your OEM shocks? if under 75k, you should have a pretty decent ride. if over 75k, you might want to pick up those tokico blues from oscar. the shorter spring rate on the h&r's will decrease your OEM shocks lifespan bc they are not technically supposed to be paired up together.
get an alignment after you install your springs and see where your numbers are at. that will determine whether or not you'll need a camber kit. my guess? you will need one. but remember, out of spec TOE eats tires faster than out of spec camber. firestone has a lifetime alignment deal for $150. i would hop on that so that you don't have to pay for alignments more than once.

do these drop your car 2" (one of the H&R drop you 1.4 front and 1.3 back, and the others more than that)? Ingalls has a camber kit that people use usually, excelerate has it. There is a bunch of threads on this topic. And if these springs are dropping you around 2" then your stock shocks are gonna be in trouble and fast
