H&R spring Questions.....bring on the experts

[SubieNate]

Eibach is one of the largest spring winders for other aftermarket companies. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they made the H&R set.

I doubt the Eibachs actually sag. My guess would be that many just don't like the ride height bias front:rear that Eibach chose.

you may be right about that. I think people just call it saggy butt syndrome as a joke and not that the rear sags over time. It is a weird look though, having the back noticeable lower than the front.

Im not going to be tracking or anything like that so super engineered springs don't do anything for me. Anyone on here running RCE's with 17's? I would like to see what the drop will look like.

im not sure you can get the "stance" and ride quality together from a lowering spring at all, let alone from a lowering spring that isnt engineered extremely well.

We're not sure, H&R doesn't release that info for their sport springs. Plus it's hard to say what the spring rate is exactly since they're progressive.

I had H&R's on my STi (before getting coilovers) and I would like to stay the same route on the FR-S.

Im going to be ordering new wheels/tires shortly, but Im staying 17". Probably 17X8.

Which H&R's will be better, the sport or super sport?

Will I require camber bolts/arms to achieve a proper alignment after settling?

I'm on a budget, but I dont want anything unsafe or unreliable. Thanks for the help!

I just received my super sport springs yesterday. I have plenty of friends with these springs and I think they ride just fine. Yes a little bumpy but nothing too serious. I'll be installing mine this weekend if the weather permits and i'll let you know!
