illumina/prokit or illumina/H&r OE sports

[skylar]

I plan on getting one of these combinations in the next couple of days. I just want to make sure it is what I want.

I want the best ride quality i can get. I want my car to be lowered, but i want it to ride almost the same as stock or better. What would be the best combo for this? i am not going to be using a camber kit, only in the rear.

I like my Illumina/pro kit setup. On the softest setting it is pretty smooth, and I didn't use a camber kit front or rear. No abnormal wear that I can see, and I also ask the guys at discount tire every time I get them rotated if they see any weirdness. Haven't seen any yet.

Hey, I just installed h&r OE sports on my ride. My requirements were modestly lowered with a good ride. The vehicle rides very comparable to stock with the stock dampers. I can feel a slight increase in spring stiffness. It's not bouncy, and looks good without looking lowered.
I recommend them for good ride quality, although these may not be exactly what you want. My car looks "good" now, without looking obviously "lowered." If you're looking for a lowered look, these wont cut it.
As far as camber, the front is fine, the rear "could" use correction, but as stated in post above, it's not going to kill your tires.
Ill post a pic if you want to see it. 2G with 17" rims 1" drop.

Agreed, but slipping in about an 1/8" to 3/16" of washers behind the upper arm pivots will reduce understeer and allow you to run the spec rear toe-in for stability with even less of a tire-wear issue.

OE sports, 215/50-17. The "before" pic was too large.
