Forgetting the way the mudgaurds look, because they don't bother me too much... I am more concerned with if the mudgaurds will be alright on the car when lowered with the H&R's that low. Will they scrape a lot, damage the paint under them, etc..?

They'll scrape at speed bumps and if you're cornering hard.

 

had sports. no problems in cornering just scraped a bit over speed bumps , take it slow and youll be fine. prevents alot of rock chips on the fenders ,door etc. especially if you are running azenis tires or 205 +.

 

You're gonna install H&R 29502 right ? not the 50145 that are meant for the regular 94+ DC.

29502: 1.5" front , 1.3" rear
50145: 1.75" front, 1.5" rear.

i have the 29502 H&R sports for the type R unused new in box. if anyone wants to buy... $130 They're gunmetal springs and they look dope.

 

worried about mudguards? who cares! i mean as long as they do their intended function, so they scrape

 

I dont want the pressure from the scraping to **** up the underlying paint.

 

h&r's sold to jon for $130. to the nice jdm type r w/ nos. =D

 

My mudguards scraped on most speedbumps around here at stock ride height!

I have H&R sport springs and all I can say is they own!

 

Will scraping mudgaurds eventually hurt the underlying paint? Anyone ever tried shaving some of the mudgaurds off to avoid scraping?

Jon

 

yeap

 

my mudguards scraped all the time, and no damage was done to the car. the mudguards, if they are oem, are very flexible. you shouldn't have anything to worry about

 

Nice. So do you recommend just keeping the mudgaurds on after I do the H&R Sport drop?

Jon

 

H&R sports aren't that low
I'll doubt that you'll even scrape
