Have you seen how low the H&R's drop your car??? Your camber will be way out of wack even with a camber kit... I had them and those springs drop your car like 2 inches.. Just wanted to make sure you know what your getting yourself into....

I would think with the camber kit you should be able to get the H&R's back close to spec.

i you want to go the spring route ,, just go with tein htech or tanabe ,, IMO ,, H&R will give you a lot of problems,, will look good ,, but a lot of problems

No I don't have coilovers yet.. I'm waiting till Sharif at Forged Performance has some available.. If your thinking about picking up springs. Definitely talk to Sharif at Forged Performance.. He is extremely knowledable about every product he sells. And he will give you a great deal with unmatched customer service. I ordered my wheels from Sharif and I will continue to order parts from him.. Give Sharif a call (770) 792-0202..

I HAD H&R, they were good but too many problems

If you have the dough, get some coils
if not
give lou a call at Amp'd Motorsports. He is a vendor on here. Great Guy that will take good care of you.

negative camber, which can be fixed with a camber kit, besides that everything else is fine. Unless you plan on keeping those springs on for more than 3 years, you have to replace those OEM shocks.
