H&R sport by mistake

[nine9rs]

hey, i recently ordered the H&R lowering springs. i asked for the ones that dropped appx. 2'' and they had to ship them in, the problem is that when i got them (yesterday) i think that they might be the sport (1.4'' drop) rather than race, because mine are black and i thought that the race were red. my question is, should i jsut stick with these?? will my car still look lowered? and is there much of a difference from the 1.4'' to the 2''?

thx for the input -rob

Well, you probably won't need camber adjustment with just a 1.4" drop. However, if you want your car to look 'slammed', it isn't going to with just the 1.4". So, just call them and ask and make sure they sent you the right ones. I would stick with the 1.4" but you obviously wanted 2.0", so at least call them and verify.

What model number is on the springs? The sports are 52963.

jsut checked, its 52962, so i am assuming that they are race after all?

jsut checked h&r site.... should have done this earlier, but for the sport spings they give 2 codes
52963 for awd sport, 52962 for fwd sport, and for race its 52962-88, so i didnt see the 88 so i think i still have the sports

I have H&R sport. Althought it's not "race" it lowerd my car more than 1.4 in. it's more like 1.7 in. I have 97 GST. I think you should keep the "sport," cuz "sport" is more expensive than "race."

oops, didn't notice you had a FWD. In any case, I would keep the sports. The race springs will jar your brains lose in short order.

I put the sport springs on my 97 GST. They were supposed to be 1.7" in the front and 1.4" in the back. I forgot to measure the car before doing the suspesion, but I went and measured another stock GST. Mine ended up with about a 2.5" drop in the front and 2.25" in the back.

The car looks bad ass and I don't scrape very much if I'm careful.

Where did you buy your springs from? I'm in the market for some aftermarket spring...

 

[fooked]

I bought my springs and shocks from prostreetonline.com. Good prices. The springs were back ordered, so it took awhile to get them.

I'm thinking of getting the H&R Sport Springs, how is the ride quality????

 

[fooked]

They ride very nicely. It's a little on the bouncy side when I have my stocks adjusted to stiff, but if I loosen them up, it rides smooth as ever. Personally I like em a little on the bouncy side.
