for some reason my car dosent sit as low as i want it to. I have H&R's and KYB AGX's and it seems like it sits to high in the back, unless thats how it is susposed to sit. Ive seen other people with H&R's and it seems like theres sits better. Any one have anypictures of there tegs on H&R's. Or any suggestions?

 

that is one clean *** gsr. i hope you dont park it there overnight.

h&r sport springs? looks like it. did you just put them on? springs kinda have to "settle"in. and what are your settings at on the KYBs?

 

you know there isn't only one drop size for H&Rs.

 

H&R sport springs for a teg are supposed to drop ~1.75" in the front and ~1.5" in the rear.

H&R race springs are supposed to do ~2.0" in the front and ~1.75" in the rear

thanks man, and no i dont park it there over night, i usally park it in a garage. But yea the springs are old they were on the car when i bought it with stock shocks. I recently put the KYB's on a month or so ago, along with the rims. Im not sure if the sport springs and the race srpings are different colors but mine are a drak blue alomost black color.

 

yea you have the sport springs. it doesnt look bad to me at all. or maybe i might need another pic of a DC2 on the same springs.

 

Here is a pic of mine on stock shocks and H&R springs. They were put in 2000 by the original owner(I'm 2nd) when he first got the car and the car is pretty stiff to my surpirse still to this day. The only difference between mine and yours is that my back end is a little bit lower.

 

Yep, looked like mine did when I put H&R's on my Konis. More gap in the rear than in front. Luckily I was able to lower the rear spring perch on the Konis to even it out.

Also, you should pre-load your bushings now instead of waiting for it to "settle" and tear the bushings. It might actually be a touch lower if you pre-load the bushings. Loosen all the LCA, UCA, and lower shock mount bolts with the car on jack stands, then use a jack to raise each LCA up to where that corner lifts off the jack stand, then tighten the bolts to spec.

alright ill try that, any one else have any suggestions?

 

I'm telling you, your car is sitting exactly right for H&R Sport springs.

 

should i try and sell them and get the drag springs?

 

drag springs? Only if you want your car to sit higher in the back and be unbearable to drive on the street because of the insanely high rear spring rate.

If you really want to even it out, I would suggest Ground Control coilovers on Koni Sport shocks.

 

i ment the h&r drag springs, but ill just leave them for now, i just wasent sure if thats how they were susposed to sit

 

I'd leave it the way it is.

 

i have H&Rs and i dont like them at all!!!

Me either, mine dropped my car 2+" and were way too soft to be that low.

 

It's a little dark but here is my GSR with the same suspension.

 

see the back of yours sits lower than mine does, and thats how i want mine to sit. What size wheels and tires are you using. Could that be a problem? I still cant figure it out??

 

hoenstly i like it up a little in the back a bit.. i think it makes the car look more aggressive, but urs is a bit high :x mine is higher in the rear but not like that.

 

anyone have any idea why it is like this?

 

Are you going for looks or performance...? There is a real big difference in the way the car will sit. I set my gsr up for autocross and track, if your car is too low it will be harder to transfer the weight. Also, i like the front lower than the back for looks, but for performance the back should be a little lower to sift the CG more towards the center of the car. But if you just want to go for looks set it how you want it, and drive.

 

by the way, awesome car. I really like that color with the rims, everything is really clean.

 

not to thread jack but how much does it usally cost someone to put springs and or coilovers on.. if its done by someone you dont know like an auto place?

 

thats a good drop IMO, not too low to scratch not too high for water. looks good, should just keep it that way, but you're right the back is suppose to sit lower than the front...

 

well im not saying its susposed to sit lower than the front, im just saying i think it should sit lower than it is now.

and thank you for the compliments.
