H&R sport springs???

So I've been doing a lot of research on springs and I've noticed that a few places have different drops for these springs and I was wondering if any of u guys could give me a more realistic estimate of the drop with these springs... I've seen just a 1 inch drop to as much as 1.8 inch drop.. Just want to get an idea from people that have installed these already.. Thanks guys

The h&r site has them only lowering the car 1 inch for both f/r

FYI I have the 2012 CBP sh-awd

Mr. Bell,
Would you happen to have a before and after picture by chance? Thanks.

I have H&R springs on my car. TBH, i feel it's a very conservative drop, definitely doable for daily driving. I haven't measured the drop exactly, but with my oem kit, I can still drive up/down my steep driveway with ease and no scratches.

No rubbing at all when you turn the wheel all the way?

I don't turn my wheel all the way because doing it often will mess up the alignment. In U-Turns, if it doesn't look like I'll make it in one turn, I'd rather turn into the street and come out again. However, when I go up steep curbs, I have to go really slow or it will rub a little.

Are you serious ? I thought only road impacts and potholes mess up wheel alignments.

Yeap, no kidding. I'd rather do a 3-point turn than locking the wheel all the way.

I was searching H&R's site and see the springs say for the sh-awd. Anyone know if they will work with my fwd?
