Looks like you only have sports. Not the Super Sports.... Doesn't look like yours dropped as much as mine o.0

Could be they didn't settle 100%. A bulk of the settling happens in a few days. But it can take several weeks to get the last few millimeters to settle.

Could also be the overall diameter of your wheels+tires is greater than his and fill in more of your wheel wells.

I don't have the sports, but thanks for telling me what I bought. Just because you bought the wrong size tires, doesn't mean the drop is any different:

Your tires are .35 inches taller than the factory tires.

What size are those wheels?

Someone said he had 18's. In which case it's logical to assume they were not Super Sports because he would be tucking almost.

This is one of the most idiotic statements I have read. I was unaware that 18"s = "tucking almost". Where were you taught logic? I, like most performance enthusiasts, like to maintain as close to OEM overall wheel diameter as possible. When you increase the size of your wheel, you decrease the size of the sidewall of your tire a similar amount. This keeps your speedometer and traction control systems happy. When some random on the Internet tells me that I don't know what I bought, I call them out on it.

I purchased my H&R Super Sports from Tire Rack back in September 2012. I can provide a picture of the box if you would like. My wheels and tires are:

WedsSport TC105N 18x8 +42 TS Titan Wheels
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35/18 Tires

Yeah, not a logical assumption dude. You need to consider overall diameter (wheels + tires).

"looks like was an assumption to begin with lmao!" Feel my sarcasm yo!

theom · 05-23-2013, 03:19 PM

So the specs I see say the Super Sports do 1.2" drop in front, and 1.6" rear.
Is that weird? wouldn't you want the same drop or slightly more in front?

swarb · 10-29-2017, 01:32 PM

Anyone know the spring rates on these? No response from H&R.
