Default H&R Sport Spring Pics

Not too many people have this suspension setup so I thought I'd make my first post after lurking here for 3 months.

H&R Sport Springs with Koni Struts and Shocks. Shock firmness are set at 3 turns out of 5.







The wheel gap is lower in the rear but ground clearance is equal front to back. Wheel Alignment tomorrow 2 weeks after installation. Next mod is to get rid of the TRD sway bar and install the Hotchkis sway bar set. Thanks for looking.

Rides awesome but I'm a little biased since I havent had any other experience with a lowered tC. Bumps are bareable, and I have enough ground clearance to not have to worry about the speed bumps. High speed maneuvers are so much more precise over stock.

Two finger gap in front, 1 and a half in rear.

I thought H&R Sport spring drops 1.4"/1.3" but your car looks lower than that, maybe because of struts, right?
Great looking man!!!

I cant account for the lowness in the rear except for a full tank of gas and a toolset in the trunk. I saw someone on SL once complain that his install was done wrong, spring perch upside down, but that made his tC high in the back. What would make it sit lower?

My tires are 225/45/17 so the wheel diameter is just slightly larger than stock as well.

Its a little lower than TRD. I've been caught up at work so I still havent done the alignment. Once thats complete I'll post new pics and close ups for you.

awesome thank you so much. im trying to decide between the h&r sports or the h-techs. I dont want as low as progress and i want lower than trd. Any suggetions? I am swaying more towards h&r because i love the product itself after having both the race and sport springs on my civic in the past
