Would the Swift springs (1 inch drop) be a better choice when running 19s? Like the look of the H&Rs but looks like it would be tight runnning 19s.

As a reference for this thread, Here's my suspension combo: Swift Spec-R springs, Bilstein B8 dampers, Ground Control Street camber plates, Dinan rear shock mounts, M3 front control arms, M3 rear guide rods, and soon ... adjustable Manzo toe arms.

A point of interest - do you know how much rear travel you have at ride height before the bump stop is engaged? If you are sitting on the bump stop at ride height (like the OE suspension) you won't be able to get it to sit lower. You will have to remove the dust shield (a pain, because it means pulling the shock) or pull it up (or down as the design permits) with the car on the ground to see. Alternately jack up the suspension to ride height with the wheel removed and you should be able to check it out more easily. |

How low are the H&R Super Sport Springs, I'm looking at the super sport springs that are 2.2 inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear. I am just now starting to work on my car and want to start by lowering it. Were those same ones used on your car? (:

yes, I don't recommend them. Nothing wrong with them, just that I've always gone with coilovers and this was my first time dealing with springs.. I didn't think I would miss the benefit of adjustability but they are just too low and hard to play with different wheels and offsets. Even as simply as adding spacers with the stock wheels will be a pain. I've already purchased coilovers and plan on selling the springs once i return from deployment.
