Hey i jus got some H&R Race springs and i plan to put them on stock shocks does anyone have this setup and have negatives on it???

 

Well I have H&R sports, which don't drop as low as the Race ones, and the stock shocks were done after about a month or 2. But they also had 80k miles on them. If your paying to have them put in buy new struts at teh same time.

 

Stock shocks = Shitty ride and will blow out sooner.

 

Nothing negative about these springs. Almost all of my friends sport these.

ive been running hr sports with stock shocks for over 6 months and 6000 miles. shocks are not blown yet.

 

this is becoming more a thread about H&R Sports but since we're on the topic...

if my car only has like 60k miles on it (no suspension mods or replacements) and I put H&R sports on, how long could I drive with that until my stock shocks went bad?

 

depends on how you drive.i dont abuse my shocks every time i drive. sometimes i bust an occasional 20 mph left hand turn... its all about the driver and road condtions.

 

well im only keeping the car till about christmas before i get a gsr which ill prolly get konis for but newayz do u guys think the shocks will b blown then?

 

I'm running H&R race springs w/Tokico Illuminas. The ride is very firm, but not at all bouncy or harsh. Feels like a friend's E36 M3. I have no problem clearing 99% of all speedbumps, I can fit one finger between my tire and fender in the front...two in the rear.



I would not mount the H&R Race springs on the stock shocks. They are not meant to handle the 460/350 lb rates. Go with at least a KYB AGX...preferably a Tokico Illumina or Koni Yellow strut, your choice.

 

I installed them close to two months ago and the back makes a loud noise when hitting certain bumps, does ne1 else sporint h&r have this problem???

 

i have h&r race springs on my car with stock shocks for abt 3 yrs now still hasnt blown...rides fine...not bouncy at all...i like em alot..

 

i know it's about the races, but i have sports on stock shocks, and i definitely think the ride quality is much better than stock...that is until i hit a pothole or a big bump...then that sucks

 

I've been rollin on H&R Race for about two years now with stock front shocks and KYB GR2s in the rear and no problems yet. The ride is firm and not that bouncy. Although now I think my front shocks are giving up, going with AGXs.

what kind of rims are those?

thanks

 

those are heavy lookin rims

 

Work RSZ-R's, TONS of people here sporting those, 15x7 = 10 lbs, 16x7 = 14 lbs.

My friend had Neuspeed Race on Tokico Special (blue) shocks, rode horrible. H&R Race on stocks would be even worse.

 

i got h&r sports and tokico blues, my ride is nice but once the spring broke in the drop dropped lower then it was before ,which looks really nice .

 

yea..spring break in is cool...when i first took my car off the stands..it looked perfect i thought...came out the next morning..it was like an inch lower...looks badass

 

I dunno what this spring break-in business is, my H&R sports have dropped my car 3" since the first day I installed them.

 

H&R race suck, the front saggs like an old ladies tities

 

H&R race on KYB AGX's . Struts set to 3 rear 2 front for daily driving. This set up rides firm but not harsh and stiff enough for daily driving. and NO! i do not have problems driving around this low. Just don't drive like a maniac and you'll be fine

 

after a year of use my springs dropped lower than they were originally .

 

damn that black integra is low i like it

 

over a year and a half w/ h&r race w/ stocks and no problems whatsoever. i mob my **** too and they havent blown . just bought some omnipower full coils though which should be even better

 

my car has 128+ miles on it with stock shocks and neuspeed race springs... just about the same thing and my shocks are not blown. been running it like this for years with no problems. i do plan on changing the shocks and struts soon just because. and i like that driveway shot of the black integ... get low...
