H&R springs feedback?

Just decided to buy H&R springs for my coupe instead of the Eibachs, How do you like the ride quality? Will a camber kit be necessary for the first month or two?

All comments welcomed

I just got s-techs and it rides like stock, I do scrape A LOT though lol I've heard h&r is realllyyy bouncy, and yes I'm getting my camber kit 2 weeks after I installed so the springs can setttle. But I have a friend with a 328 with h&r, an his ****s bouncy and my friend with a 2009 civic has h&r and his ****s bouncy too but not sure on a g37. Hope this helps!

H&R's sit pretty low for the coupe. You can go a month or two without a camber kit but you will get a little uneven wear on your tires.

Eibach's are pretty much the limit with how low you can go without a camber kit, and even that is debatable.

I had the H&Rs they do not seem bouncy at all to me, they rode just like stock, even my Fiance didn't notice that I had lowered it and said it rode very smooth.

I actually have a set for sale for $200 w/less than 1000 miles on them, only selling because I went KW V3s because the offsets I wanted were too low for the h&rs

I have h&rs and i love them. The ride height looks perfect even tho itdoes scrap if you dont drive carefully. The ride isnt bouncy but it is noticable that its stiffer. Also no pitch or dive like the stocks. Worth it imo, and im only gonna get a camber kit for the rear.

HELLLLZZZZ NOOOOOO are S-Techs close to stock. LMAO. Those are the worst springs ever. EVAR!


Moe, H&Rs are the lowest you can go and are definitely have the closest resemblance to the stock ride quality. I love these springs.


EDIT: Oh and I've been on them for about 8 months with no camber kits installed.

I'm riding on s-techs now and I'm telling you IT'S STOCK, anyone who rides in my car doesn't feel any difference, anyone with them will tel you the same thing, the only difference is I scrape on bumps and large driveways. Ask amf he's on the same setup.

Look at the spring rates they're completely different.

Shouldn't these be the kinds of questions that you get answered before deciding to buy?

I had H&R on my sedan and now Eibach on my coupe. H&R definitely felt sportier, where Eibach really doesn't feel much different than stock. Kind of hard for me to compare the sedan v coupe though. Camber kits are never necessary...it's just a matter of what kind of inner tire wear you are willing/able to afford. With how low H&R are, you will definitely run through tires pretty quickly.

That being said, congrats and don't forget to post pics!

Definitely will post pics...i was originally in the market for the eibachs, but after seeing the un-balanced stance they provide i decided to take the H&Rs, Just received my tracking number for them..Pics will be up right after they're installed.

I'm not worried about the lowest i can go but the gap in the front end is just ugly, but to keep in mind i live in NYC where the roads aren't..well never any good.
