Had my new H&R coilover kit installed today and new SS brake lines. (All the pics in the link are from my camera phone, will take better pics later.)

When stock the ride height was 26.25" in the front and 26" in the rear. After the coilover install they are at 24.5" at all four corners. this is set at the middle setting. I can raise it about 1" or lower it another 0.75".

Overall I am very happy with the result. The car looks great and handleing is a world of difference. Higher speeds are much smoother and the car handles like it is on rails (even better then before.)

The ride is a little rougher but that is what you would expect.

Overall I am very happy with it so far.

Oh.. and found out that it is possible to drop a S4 cab so low that you will have trouble to do an alignment. We had to take the belly pan off the car. The problem was that parts of the alignment machine that are on each wheel need to have a line of sight with each other via laser for calibration. Well the car is so low now that we had to take off the belly pan and play with the way the machine was setup in order to make sure they could see each other

The mechanic who installed it for me was very good. Took 9.5 hours, as he took the time to make sure the alignment was perfect and he redid one of the rear wheel coilover installations as he was not happy with the way it looked. If anyone needs a mechanic for upgrades or for fixing issues he is very good and very resonable in price.

no one cares

 

looks great, love the stance

 

LOL....agreed!!

 

modding my car made it harder to drive, and I lost controll.

 

9.5 hours at ~100 an hour for labor (probably more). You paid $950+ for install and alignment?!!

 

I love my H&amp;R Coilovers but why do your wheels look like they were BBQ'ed?

 

Someone who wasn't even close to mastering his car in its stock form, yet you felt compelled to upgrade it. Your stock suspension was not lacking in any way, except that you were overdriving it. So instead of stepping it back a notch and improving the driver, you have raised the threashold to a whole new level of danger. Your actions speak so much louder than your words. You have done nothing more than solidify your status as a complete ****head.
