Default H&R race springs

Does any one else have these? Options auto salon said it would drop my car 1.50 rear and about 2 inches front... It turned out to be really low. About 2.5 to 3 inches. Is that normal?

I was thinking about purchasing these springs as well. How is the ride and what shocks are you using? I'd like to see how the car sits as well if you have any pictures. As for your inquiry, the advertised drop is about 2", not sure why your's dropped 2-3. Thanks.

sorry, I didn't have time to resize... kyb agx and h&r race springs- supposed to be a 3 inch drop. I love it, besides all the squeeking from my struts- but then again it has been lowered for 2+yrs...

I know the koni-yellows are height adjustable and I was wondering if you had those adjusted to the lowest setting? That looks really low. I will also be putting them on my 5th gen and want to get an idea of how it will sit and how the ride will be. Thanks.

i've had these springs on my car for about a month. it SHOULD be 1.9 inches up front and 1.6 in the rear for the 4th gen racing springs. if it dropped your car like 2.5-3 inches, maybe you didn't measure the wheel gap correctly, cuz when i measured my stock height, it was about 2 inches up front, and 3 in the rear. after my drop, there was a one finger gap up front, and two in the rear which should be right because the rear drop is only 1.6, so thats half of the stock heigt. oh yeah keep in mind that im on 205/55/15 tires. no squeeking at all either. im still on stock shocks unfourtantely, BUT will be getting koni yellows. the springs are pretty stiff, so id go with nothing lower than the yellows.
