Default Noobie questions

I'm slowly picking this stuff up here, learning as fast as I can since I've only had the car a week now.

First, does anyone run H&R sport springs on their car, and what can be expected from them. I had a set given to me with the car.

Second, can an Alpine CD changer be added to the Symphony radio? I have XM, but no Bose or OnStar.

TIA

Default well really unless....

Your name is Pobst or Galati there is no reason to touch the suspension. And if your gonna touch it at lease get KW v3 or STaSIS. Personally thought stock is better then 90% of the options..

Default ditto

dont put those springs on. Ive had h&rs and regretted putting them on my previous car. It made the car look nice but the ride sucked by just changing the springs.

Default Yea, you don't want to run just springs but...

I love my H&R coil-over set up. It was a huge improvement over stock and the ride quality great. With 19s and coils of corse it's stiffer than stock but I'm not understeering all the way through the corners all day squeeling either.

Default Interesting...did the dealership give you the springs or did you buy it used?

I'd wait on the springs. The OEM suspension is definitely more than capable.

Congrats on the new car! What color is it?

Default I believe factory audio system is built by Matsu****a (Panasonic)

I doubt it will interface with Alpine... try asking in <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/">Audio &amp; Electronics forum</a>, though.
