H&R Sport Spring Users, do you guys have the same problem as I do?
I don't know if its just the surface my car is on, but everytime i compare the rear drop, my right rear is always higher then the left rear. Is this just by coincidence, or is that the way the drop is suppose to be? Also, this is just my opinion, but i am getting sick of the way my drop looks. The front is lower than the rear, and the camber is much worse on the front as opposed to the rear. This makes an odd looking drop if you ask me. When you look at it the car from the side, you can tell that the camber is different on the front, thats how bad it is. I've had this spring for about 2 years now, but i am gonna switch this out as soon as i have time for something that is height adjustable. Sorry for ranting about my frustration with these springs

yeah my rear drop is uneven, but only by about 1/8" or so. And yes the rear sat higher than the front when I first installed them. I brought the Koni perch down to the lowest setting and it looks much more even now.
It also lowered my car ~3" in front.

Are you running stock struts? Sounds like u need some new struts. I have ran h&R sport springs. They naturally drop lower in the front because H&R makes them that way. The wheel gap is larger in the front due to the higher fender line. Just to make it cleaner. I would seriously check the struts though....camber problems on sport springs are kinda weird.

my camber is -2.3 degrees in front w/ H&R Sport springs.
But I don't consider it a problem

-2.3 huh? That's weird. Just had mine checked and I'm at about -1.4 on both sides. This goes along with my previous statement to you that I didn't think mine was quite as low as yours. The inconsistencies with these springs is odd to me.

Doesn't surprise me, you always ride with someone in the drivers seat, so there is more weight on that side.

They won't be able to change that without a camber kit. Unless they bend something...and that's just ghetto.

Change camber? Ask them how they are going to go about doing that. They can change toe, thrust angle, and whether the steering wheel is centered or not (forget what the term is). That's it.

Leave the camber alone. I wouldn't waste the money on a kit. Just get the toe within spec, and rotate often. You'll be fine.
