Chrisbl Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Preferrably on 18" wheels. I've been searching around trying to find pictures. I found a few threads about these springs, but in many cases the threads are old and the pictures gone. I'd love to see some before and after pics.

bnguyenbb6 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'll whore out this picture again. Not on 18's but you get an idea. Its about a 2 finger gap all the way around.http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4249614010_5b1de9c2e8_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnguyenbb6 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h276/briannguyen435/sideshot-1.jpg?t=1264120875 Just on stock wheels. Don't worry about the location...I was going for something that didn't really work lol. And this does make me want to do a photoshoot of my car. I'm usually taking pics of other cars since I see mine everyday. Sorry if I'm not much help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbl Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Your pictures gives me a good indication on how much the springs lower the car. I often park on grass, so your last picture was not a bad idea! Are you using OEM shocks? Give me a heads up if you decide to take a photoshoot.

king_j Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Its about a 2 finger gap all the way around. stock struts? the front looks lower then a 2 finger gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Konis, but the Konis don't make the car sit lower. When I bought the car, it had Konis and Stock springs, I was monster trucking like the rest of you running stock springs. It is a 2 finger gap, I guess the turned wheel is misleading. The second picture is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Tank Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Gold BBS and the drop look amazing. A grill would be icing on the cake. I'll whore out this picture again.

bnguyenbb6 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Gold BBS and the drop look amazing. A grill would be icing on the cake. Thanks, I really like it. I also want a grill but am not sure if I want to change the way it looks now.

Wrench Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I've got h&r sport springs on stock shocks and 18in wheels and have about a finger and a half gap running a 225/40/18 tire. Gap was a little less when I ran a 235/40/18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxx4k Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 did you guys add shims to the rear?? any saggy butt effect?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wengermi Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) ok its been about a week for me. ride is so much better then stock. not to firm but a lot firmer then stock. the rear is a progressive spring and its guaranteed not to sag according to the papers that came with it. no saggy butt spacer, stock 18x7 spec.b rims, month old continental dws 225-40-18 tires, 60k miles on the car Edited May 11, 2012 by wengermi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX-7_Turbo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 H&R springs typically have a more aggressive drop, but those look pretty nice...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wengermi Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 here is a before pic when the car had around 5000 miles. before i did the springs the back sagged more and were tucking in where i couldn't fit a finger in there. also my rear right camber was at -1.5 degrees and the rear left was in the limits since i bought the car. now its within limits around 1.2 and they are even now.
