H&R's VS RPM street springs

[BADFISH6]

I know theres tons of threads about this and I think I have read most of them, but I still cannot decide which for my MS6. Someone please strongly convince me one way or the other because I want springs soon. That stock wheel gap pisses me off every time i look at my car.

wurd, drop needed for sure.
answer a couple things first... Atlanta Georgia, sounds like bad snow winnters, bad condition roads... lots of steep curbs?

if so, go with the moderate drop from the RPM streets.
Otherewise, if you feel you can deal with that all, the H&Rs are lower will look a bit better but just driver more carefully.

Personally i have the RPM streets and am already scraping on curbs all over the place.
Big rainstorms at the moment, and im low enough to make even small puddles force feed up into my fenders.
I love doing cnayon runs too, so it has a great spring rate, moderate drop for aggressive driving. I researched a lot before this purchase and settled on em cause they are the perfect middle ground for me.

Awesome info, sold me on the rpm springs!

I plan on getting the RPM's too. I like that they actually put the spring rates and everything else. I try to look up spring rates for the H&R and Eibach but couldn't find a thing. I'm definitely leaning towards the RPM's.

Not a lot in the way of snow in Atlanta, but steep curbs everywhere. The roads here are filled with stuff that would like to scratch the bottom of my car. The thing with the RPM's is I dont wanna be disappointed by a barely noticeable drop. Could someone send me a picture? I am also curious about the spring rates of the H&R's. I researched, but also came up empty handed. I wonder if they are stiffer. Thanks for the suggestions and info

Every question you posted, I too am interested in.

I have RPM springs and love them. I'll see if I can get a pic up later, but you will notice a drop. Its just not as drastic as the H&R's. From what I've read when i was shopping for them (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) the H&R's were designed for the v6 6, not the ms6, so the spring rates are stiffer than your stock ms6 but not quite as stiff as the RPM springs.

No, H&R makes two different sets for us. There is one for the 6 and one for the MS6, as you can see by part #s on their website.

aye the RPMS are for sure pretty stiff... my dad has drivin in my car only twice in the stock form... then the other day i drove him to the doctors and he was like, WTF why is the road so rough? LOL, i had to apologize cause it was my car. haha

but its really not bad for people used to rough rides, my old car (MX-6) sometimes it felt like it had ZERO spring suspension, haha.

As for drop, 1 inch average is very noticeable. I used to be able to fit 4+ fingers between tire & fender. Now i can fit 2 fingers. personally i love the look without slamming my ride. As for spring rate, as i said its stiffer but not coilover stiff... still good for a smooth ride but performs great for twisties too!

remember, im talkin bout the "RPM STREETS" not rpm sports.
