H&R Sport springs

Hey guys,
I would like to lower my NB C2 Cab 1.5-2", the gap is driving me crazy..

What is a reasonable labor cost to install H&Rs. Springs alone are just over $300.

Thanks!

Your looking at around $600-$700 for install/alignment.

My H&R took about 6 hours to install including 4 wheel alignment. I was there with the mechanic, he is my buddy... It is a tricky install and requires patience... Especialy the rears on a convertible.

If you wanna see pics of how the car looks, see this thread:

Very happy with ride. Was a little rough with stock full load tire pressures of 37 44. I am now running 34 37 on 19 inch lobster claws and car feels great. We have really crappy roads up here in Quebec.

Save your money and go with the Bilstein coilovers. I had springs on for about a year and then they settled, the ride sucked and so did the handling. Invest wisely on suspension, we don't drive Hondas

Not to turn this into a "for sale" thread, but I also have a set that have been sitting in my garage for about a year if porschespeeddemon sells his and anybody else need a set.
