This is dedicated to TypeRod. TypeRod is trying to make a decision on what kind of springs to purchase and I hope this helps.

This is also for anybody who is wondering how they "look" in terms of close up wheel gap




There are more pics of the car at my website mentioned in my sig.

N E time

my ground controls own H & R sports..yes i used to have H & R sports...
i would never go back....
ever
custom spring rates + whatever height you want =
just my .02

 

On my car the front sits a little lower than that and on the rear there isn't much room.

 

can you measure for me how the height of the headlights from the ground?

this is a serious question as cops do bust it out and if its less then X amount you get towed...

and can you measure the height from the lowest part of the bottom part of the rim.
ie, is that like 2 inches? 1.5 inch, body is lower then lowest part of rim, etc.

thanks a lot man... i dont need pix, i just need you to tell me the numbers. I really really really appreciate this.. thanks a lot..

by the way, nice car...

 

sure, when I get to work or home to get a tape measurer I will let you know. I am almost positive that its still legal, i think its supposed to be like 22 inches or something?!? But I will post.

Also the post about for the ground controls; Sure thats a great setup, but its also alot more money. I am not interested in adjusting my ride hight so I would not need those. H&R sport springs are for the person who wants a more aggressive look with better handaling without compromising the ride quality "too much" for a reasonable price. Sure if I had all the money in the world I would buy the comptech setup with koni yellows

 

Looks good. Thanks for the info and pics!

 

Looks good... I was thinking about getting a set for my brother's GSR....

 

hey nun, i just pm'ed you about that. did you modify anything else like bumpstops? just wondering. thanks!

 

Take into account, if you have a system or something in the back, it will lower the rear a little too. I experienced this when I had my system in my GSR. The rear was about 1/4inch lower than front. Looked awkward. Needless to say I dont have a system anymore.

 

here are my before pics.

I will post more as soon as I get the car lowered.

 

yo TypeR 01 886,
did yoo tint yoor front windows ?
is that even legal ?
hahaha

 

front tints ar legal lots of places except in jersey....but it does kinda look like his windshield is tinted if thats what u mean

 

My front windshield is tinted with 35% percent film. I got a waiver, but with the waiver is only supposed to be 70%. I got pulled over once but the cop didnt check my windshield!! heheh!

 

Here are some pics of H&R Race springs
1. Rear tire with finger measurement

2. Rear tire camera is level with the top of the tire

3. Front tire with finger measurement

4. Front tire camera is level with the top of the tire


I hope this helps

 

they will get towed if u get pull over by cops in Vancouver.. i lower my car and it's way higher than u guys mine gap for the front can fit like 2 fingers and rear is like 2.5 fingers.. .. my car still got towed .. Vancouver cops waste time and $$
