Just Purchased H&R Sport Springs

[ericrapp]

I dropped my wife's Jetta 2 inches over a year ago, the inside of the tires still look great and there are no aftermarket camber arms/plates on there. When I lowered my 350z 1.5 inches the tires wore out in the center like crazy and you could see the camber in the rear. I guess this would be a car specific thing.

It depends on suspension design. Some can tolerate the lowering better than others. It can be complicated when changing suspension bits for performance as compared to appearance. Both methods are cool with me though. Wear in the center might mean over pressured tires maybe. I lowered my Neon r/t with Teins about two inches and camber was fine.

wait a week or two to get the alignment, the springs need to settle.. You can only adjust for toe. I had mine 1/16 total toe out in the front and 0 in the rear... My camber was fine at -1.5f/2.0 rear..
you will love the look and that is pretty much it! unless the roads out where you live are smooth.... The roads in VA are horrible and the car sucks balls. You feel everything even things you shouldnt. I can't wait till I get some more money and buy some bilstein's or koni's... The stock struts suck... I don't know what I was even thinking just replacing the springs, its not even like me

Do you think that H & R springs will work with a 235/40/18 tire?..
and i would roll my fenders too..

I had a friend do it for me at his shop. It only took him an hour and fifteen minutes to do everything. I gave him $60 for a nice job. Eibach pro-kit springs btw.

what offset are you?... I got 235/40/18 wrap with azenis 615 with a 7.5 rim (48 offset)... mine doesnt rub one bit... not even when people are in the back... it still has some room for more offset but not much.

I have never had any camber issues with my car. I ran springs at 1.8 all around, and now Im running H&R coilovers with 2.25 in the front, and 2.0 in the rear. Still no camber issues.
