Interesting comments about the high speed stability. Did you have the car realigned after the install. I went 200mph with H & R Springs and the car was PLANTED.

 

IMO If you think the car is not stable after 120 or 150 or whatever it is. You need to get something else checked. In my country it is legal to go over those speeds and i have RUF springs and my car feels planted.

 

how many miles do you have on the factory shocks?

 

I've got 30K on mine.

 

I haven't done quite that much but coming off the banked straight at 165mph slowing down for the turns proceeding has never been a stability issue, the car is more planted than you'd expect.

I added GMG sways recently, and that made things even better in the slower tighter stuff.

 

H&R springs were on the car when I purchased it and I was not impressed with this setup. Car had 19k on it, probably at least 10k on the springs, coming from an Audi B5S4 with coilovers, the car just didn't feel planted to me, seemed a bit floaty, especially when there was any type of elevation change in the road, also high speeds were a concern also.

I assume the shocks may wear quicker with an aftermarket spring setup, coilovers are going on the car now.

Just my experience.

 

Hey Boss did akram do your suspension?

 

Yes, springs over 10000 miles back, a few alignments, last being about 3 months ago, and sways a couple of months back.

 

Cool, you gonna make it to TX2k10 track event?

 

Maybe, I did TX2K8 and TX2K9. I mostly go to TWS on their open track days or DE events, similarly with H2R in San Marcos, I haven't been to Grandsport before.

 

Where are the pics?

 

i was thinking about lowering my car, but even at 167 mph, my car feels great, i have to problems, i wonder if there would be a big difference?

 

just installed h&r's and have no issues with stock shocks!!

 

OP here, H&Rs still feel AOK in my situation Happy with what I did for the cost.

 

it is normal to get different opinions on the same exact springs in the same cars because it varies alot from car to car, depending on the condition of the struts / shocks and the road conditions ...

imo, no matter what car it is, there is nothing worst than installing fresh / new lowering springs in a car with worn out shocks.
