H&R Super Sport Springs. My new found love. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NickFRS · 03-11-2013, 10:10 PM

I had my FRS slammed on BC BR coil overs. It was awesome on nice smooth pavement but kinda sucked driving on extremely bumpy roads or roads in trout dale/Gresham where I live and there are potholes that will tear off your exhaust. I sold my CoilOvers to a fellow FT86'er and picked up some H&R Super Sport Springs which @DarrenDriven installed today including whiteline front adjustable endlinks..........

Ever since the install ride quality has been greatly improved. The spring rates are softer and the stock struts seem to complement the H&R's. But at the same time the suspension is still stiff! Now i'm looking forwards to installing my Whiteline rear Endlinks + Ebach front+rear sway bar anti roll kit to finish my suspension.... If anyone is looking for a nice quality "lower" drop I would recommend this!

Pictures to come tomorrow.

P.s I've seen almost every lowering spring on the market now and love these!!!!

Thanks for the info!

How do these compare to swifts springs? Why did you choose these over them?

I had H&R and Swift springs on my 02 WRX. Loved the H&R! As for swift on a FRS/BRZ I have not yet seen this in person or been in the car. Compared to the other competitors I love these! It's a softer ride from my 8k/8k spring rates of my BC's but seems to be more performance orientated. There is way less bounce and the tires always seem to make contact to the pavement. The drop is also nice and subtle. Flushed out my car with little wheel gap. Installation of way more suspension bits on sat and alignment comes next week on monday after the springs settle a bit.

Comparison between H&R vs BC BR's. My BC BR's felt awesome in smooth pavement and I felt swaybars+strutbars would be overkill. With the H&R's I feel when I install my swaybars+Strutbars it's going to refine the suspension and improve it rather then induce large amounts of oversteer and wheel bounce.

H&R recommends you cut about 1/2" off the OEM bumpstops during the install.

NickFRS · 03-13-2013, 05:18 PM

The Super Sport Springs recommend you cut .75in off your current bump stops. The super sports offer a lower drop but ride is very similar. I wanted more of a drop so I went with H&R. Pictures will come today!
