Default Suspension upgrading..

Hi all,

After having the H&R sport springs on my stock shocks for a little over a year now, everything is running fine, but I am a little unsatisfied with the way the car is sitting. I think I'd prefer if the front was a little lower than the rear of the car (it seems as though its sitting completely flat now). After talking to a friend about how to go about fixing this ... Koni Yellows and ground control sleeves were brought up as an option. Anyone have thoughts?

Thanks a lot,
Jon

Why would you want the front lower than the rear? Are you more concerned with looks or the balance of the car?

If your only concern is ride height, GC`s are probably the way to go.

You`re still getting an Eibach Spring, so I`m happy

I like my H&R sports, and the way the car sits. I think its sort of an illusion. It looks more to me like the rear fender comes down lower, making the rear wheel look more tucked and therefore, making you think the rear is lower than the front.

When most Hondas are actually level, the rear will appear to sit a little lower.

Tom's right, H&R springs tend to sag in the rear once they settle.
