Default woohoo...just installed h&r coilovers



wow! I previously had the sports suspension but this is amazing!! The car handles very well especially combined witht he Neuspeed 19mm rear sway bar. No more floaty feel going over bumps on the highway, no more horrible rolling in corners, no more bouncing all over the place. The car is hunkered down to the road and it just feels incredible. I had the chance to open her up on some twisty mountain roads and even with my all-season tires the car just hung to the curves. I had a grin from ear to ear.</P>


The car is a bit more rough going over bumps and minor pot holes, but certainly acceptable. </P>


I had the shop lower the car to about 25" from ground to fender in the rear and 25 1/4" in the front. The car looks so much better tucked down like this. Very nice.</P>


If you don't have it already, definitley add a full suspension to your "must do" list. It has to be one of the most positive and beneficial mods I have done. I can't wait for the racing season to begin...Lime Rock, Poconos, and all the tracks on the East Coast are MINE come spring! <IMG style="WIDTH: 17px; HEIGHT: 19px" height=30 src= smileys/smiley15.gif></P>

I am in NY, about 40 minutes north of NYC.</P>


Do you want a link to a site that sells the coilovers or something else?</P>


Some of the PA/NJ/NY guys get together in northern Jersey for meets every once in a while. How far are you from Edgewater NJ?</P>

As soon as I can get my hands on a digi-cam I will post some pics. the car is not totally slammed right now since I don't want to rub the fenders, but if I take some pics I will drop the car more for the sake of pictures.</P>


Firestarter: Edgewater is about 5 minutes from the George Washington Bridge, right near NYC.</P>

sure thing. They usually get to gether about 2 times a month or so. I think there are going to be some more jersey area meets coming up (spring). And of course track events at all the road courses.

How much did those run you, and what was teh claimed drop versus the real drop? Springs are definately on my list of future mods.

Coilovers are fully adjustable. I think you can lower it from an inch to 3 inches depending on what you want. I bought these used for $800, new they are about $1250.
