I thought I was the only one who did that, mod and hope they don't notice.

Carnage · 03-26-2006, 09:47 AM

Danny,

The car looks great. I need to do the same things to mine now. What exactly is the shock and spring setup you used?

ksfrogman · 03-26-2006, 10:11 AM

HRC,

I'm curious to compare ride heights. I measured from the bottom of the tow hook access panels on the front and rear bumper covers to the ground.

Here are my specs:
Front: 36 cm
Rear: 43 cm

No Ryan!! You are not alone!! She saw the H&R box a while back and asked what it was...I was a little nervous, but I told her it was new "brake pads" cuz the OEM ones are topo dusty...I already have my story for the rims...

Hey Thanks!

I have the H&R Sport Springs and Koni Yellow Shocks. H&R is part # 50490-88 & the Shocks are # 8741-1484 Sports Front Left & Right, #8240-1236 Sport Rear Left & Right.

Let me know if any of you need info on where I got the shocks from.

Michael, I'm gonna go out and measure mine later today. It seems from the pics that mine is lower than yours in the front, is that what your thinking too?

Hell yeah! Maybe on one of the next meets. I've always wondered how much the drop would effect the ride quality. Hope your rims get there soon. Can't wait to see the pics with those volks slapped on there, its going to look sweet.

It's hard to tell by the photos (see below). However, the rear of my car seems to have dropped more than the front. Just curious to compare ride heights since we have the exact same springs.

nine4surfah · 03-26-2006, 04:27 PM

I have the same springs as well and I verified the #'s. For some reason my car appears lower as well.

When I get the chance i'll go out and measure the height between the hook connector and ground.

Your car looked lower at first, because didn't you have 16" or 17" factory wheels? Now with these 19" ones, they seem to fill out the fenders. Are you sure you have the H&R Sports and not the Race ones?

HRC · 03-26-2006, 10:58 PM

Front is approximately 37.47 and rear is approximately 43.82. This was on kinda on an uneven surface.

Pics below:
