H&R sport springs on G coupe!

I've been debating on getting h&r springs. Researching on the forums I've found that they are the lowest you can go on springs. I am thinking of putting s-techs in the rear and H&rs in the front. I can't find that many pics with H&Rs. Someone please post pics with H&rs on their G coupe. I currently have 20s. Thanks!

I'd either get one or the other, they're engineered to work as a set, using the fronts from one company and another for the rears wouldn't be a great way to go. Also if you have any issues I doubt they'd honor any warranty.

Thanks, I was actually wondering if that was frowned upon. Appreciate the input man! I guess there aren't too many Gs with sports on lol

Not too many that I've seen, most that go w/ deeper drops end up getting coilovers since deeper drops are even harder on the OEM shocks/struts. Here's a post of H&Rs on a sedan FWIW, and you'll definitely need F&R camber kits and rear toe kits for sure

Looks great, but there are a lot places I'm sure you'll never be able to drive again. Hopefully up your driveway isn't one of those places... I just clear my curb on Eibach springs.

Yea thats the only thing I'm kinda worried about. I just love the way it sits. Any pics on your Eibachs?

H&R springs and stock struts as well. Like others have said, H&R looks great but it can be very inconvenient being that low. I drove around on H&R's on NYC's terrible roads for roughly a year before I got KW V1's. Still pretty low but a tad bit higher compared to the H&R's which make a world of difference.

Why would you want to mix H&R's and S-Tech? H&R's already give a raked look which is the look to go for IMO. S-Tech has the opposite. I have H&R's and I've been satisfied. But if you're not about the low life, have steep driveway, pole hole city, speed bumps everywhere.. than avoid it.

I originally purchased s-techs but after researching I found that the fronts do not go as low as the rears. That is the reason why I wanted to get H&R fronts, just because they drop lower than s-tech fronts. I feel like a-tech rears are lower than H&Rs. I'm trying to go for the low life lol
