Question Anybody with H&R Sport Springs?

I'm looking for springs with a mild drop just to remove the ugly fender void and these (P/N:54408) could work at only .85 inch drop front and rear.

Anybody who can post pics or give a review on these? Search wasn't helpful. I was originally considering STi Pinks but I figure these would be easier to obtain.

just curious why did you choose H&R springs?

I too am looking to lower my car and have decided on the Tein S. I will try and post some pics after installation - drop is about 1.3 in front and 1.1 in the rear.

goodluck

Wanted a mild drop that's less than 1 inch. Plus H&R is known for their quality and resistance to sag. They're a
So widely available.

Perrin is selling them on their website, FWIW. I was curious also. Is this a good option for those who do not want to cash in on coilovers? I want better performance and if it looks better then thats a bonus.

Kinda surprised no one has chimed in. Has H&R lost their popularity?

Best drop for 17's IMO, look at perrins red frs and that's what they look like with 18's. perfect.

Where are you getting that it's only a .85" drop? It's listed differently here: http://ft86speedfactory.com/h-r-sport-springs-276.html

H&R has always offered a great product and I would highly recommend them.

The BRZ in this shoot is on Sport springs

After running and riding in a variety of springs for our cars. My favorite for function > form is RCE Yellow and my favorite for looks (form > function) are either the Eibach sportlines or H&R super sport. I own the RCE Yellows currently.

Thank you, sir! I guess the other page had it's information incorrect. These are looking quite tempting now since I only want a modest drop!

^ springs alone I don't imagine you could accurately claim better performance from one super high quality spring over another. Anyone with a shock dyno that we could bolt a stock suspension tower to and test a bunch of springs?
