Looks perfect! Had H&R products over the years and loved them!

What other suspension adjustments are you running?

I have the Cusco rear lower control arms, and I got it aligned back to within factory specs.

@King Tut, question. it says Avg. low 1.2"F & 1.4"R for the support. does this mean it lowers the front 1.2 and 1.4 for the rear? i see your pictures but i just want to make sure before i order that this wont give the 'rear rake' look.

That is what it means to me. I didn't measure mine before or after.

Hmm, I may end up going another direction. I prefer the wheel gap to be even. Looks like the front is a hair lower than the rear. Still looks pretty damn good though! I'll have to look into the H&R sport springs and see how they fare.

Has H&R tested these spring against the valving of the stock shocks? Like RCE or Swift. Don't want to ruin/ blow my stock shocks out from springs. I have done that in the past.

Also... How's the ride? Good springs or too much for a daily. I am used to coilovers and good suspension, but not that ebay cheap crap.

I'm sure they tested them with the only currently available OEM shocks. What is too much for a daily is a personal decision. They offer the Sport springs for a less stiff ride and the Super Sport springs for those wanting a stiffer ride. I run H&Rs on my SpecE30, ran H&R Super Sports on my E92 M3, and I am fine with the ride of the H&R Super Sports on my BRZ. They were a stopgap for me until all the coilover options were available
