Default Spring and strut problems?

First question is....are H&R springs different than other springs? What i mean is that i bought springs to lower my car 1.25in but they are the same height as my stock springs. Is that right? Also i tried installing those springs on my stock struts and they wouldnt go on. My spring was almost compressed to the point they were touching. What should i do. Can someone give me advice....to what is happening? thanks

Default Did you order H&R sport or H&R race?

H&R sport will lower your car 0.75"F/0.50"R from the factory sport suspension height. Add 0.75" to those figures if you want to compare to factory non-sport height.

The race springs will lower the car even more (which is probably the drop you were looking for?).

Not sure what's going on with your installation, but good luck and be careful!

Default Do you have FWD or Q? I had problems with H&R sports and FWD

they didn't lower my car in front much and they RAISED the car in back.

Eventually I had to switch to neuspeeds.
