H&R springs... before and after pic request

Hi Gang!

I know the H&R springs "drop" the ride around 1.2 - 1.5" but I would love to see before and after pics specially the rears... Also, what's your impression on the new set up...

I plan on doing it but driving 500 miles a week, I don't know if it's going to be a wise choice...

TIA!

joel

The biggest difference is noted at the front... the rear is not that much and that's probably what I want to drop more... Love your wheels. I just got Ruger Mesh in satin charcoal...

I want to drop mine too but I don't see that much of a difference in the rear. Any rubbing issues in the front?

This is mine with BBS wheels. I don't have a before w/ these wheels as I had them installed same time as springs. These have a slightly more aggressive offset so the go to the fender.

I have H&R springs, no rubbing issues at all with wheels.
Car rides fine, slightly firmer. It does feel a little more planted, maybe due to being lower CG.

Front clearance going up driveways is worse. I have to do the slow/diagonal thing. Having almost always had lower cars I'm used to it.

In these pics you can see the difference pretty clearly in the fender gap...

Did you guys need re-alignment after lowering? Will Pasm still work with the springs?

Yes pawn will still work. Alignment is needed about a month after the install. Need to let the springs sit for a while.
