Default Spring Sets..

Well.. now that I got wheels I need to drop my car..
I am looking into the H&R Springs.. but whats the difference between the red and the black ones?? Between the Race and Sports version other than the fact that Race drops 1.9"F 1.5"R and Sports Lowers Avg Low 1.25"F 1.0"R.. any pics of these drops???

race is stiffer, sport is about 30% stiffer then stock, make sure you get shocks with the springs.

30% stiffer than NON-sport.......H&R sports stiffness is nearly identical to stock sport springs

Default After awhile you would need new shocks. The stiffer springs would be too much for the stock shocks

and give you a bouncy ride. How many miles are on your car?
