i installed them yesterday and it seems like the H&R race springs did not lower my car that much, the springs are a little used. it kinda sux that i total forgot to measure the height before, but i can fit 3 fingers and a little bit of 4th finger between the tire and fender of FRONT, and abuot 2 - 3 fingers in the gap between tire and fender of REAR after i installed them. i have 17' kumho ecsta tires(low profile). is it normal or is there something wrong? i was expecting to be kinda slammed but its not! by the way, the springs are on the MIDDLE perch of koni yellows

 

hows the ride with the H&R's ... was thinking about getting thoose instead of GC's ($$) ... any unforseen problems?

 

love my gcs

 

ride quality is good, its pretty stiff and i like it
but I gotta know why my car has so much gap between tire and fender!
is it normal or is there any problem with it?!

 

which spring setting did you set the perch on? The Nuespeed Sport have 5 settings and the regular Koni Sport have 2.

 

Something is wrong... because I have the same set up and there is no gap between my tire and fender. This is the best picture I could find of what my car looks like... With other pictures its hard to see where my fender starts and tire ends.

 

i bet it rides nice.

 

It really isnt bad when I adjust the struts to their softest

i thought they have 3, cuz im pretty sure that i have 3 settings
and i set it on the middle perch. Could it be the springs are fake? or not race? but i checked it and it was the H&R red colored springs. man this is soo weird!! did anyone have a problem like this? cuz i think 3fingers of gap is pretty big with H&R race springs...

 

did you buy the konis made for GC coilovers only?

 

You might want to try putting the springs on the bottom perch. 3-4 finger gap is rediculous for H&R race springs.

I have my H&R Race on KYB AGX and I have no gap in the back and 1/2 finger gap in the front.

 

put them on the bottom perch, i think it rides better too.

 

aite thx guys

 

i still dont understand how some of u guys don't have a gap in the back..

here's how my car sits w/ the h&r race springs, this is on oem size tires too..







oh yeah, sorry they're not the best of pics..

 

if i wanna set it on the bottom perch, what do i need to do
what kind of tools and how do i move the perch down?
can i just do it with the shocks/springs on the car or do i have to take them out
and do i have to take the springs out also? thx
