Re: H & R's and Tokico Blues installed, PICS inside
I think we talked briefly at the shop last week. Car looks very clean, but I think it still needs to be lower. Maybe the springs will settle down over time.

i whole heartedly agree but for $200 i can't complain at all. i think it will settle some more, as my brothers car did, but we'll see.as for the ride, its just a tad stiffer than stock but handles at least twice as good if not more, body roll is reduced tremendously

i know it doesnt look THAT low, but it's more for performance than for lowness, and its doing very well, i like the stance it has now, and i think it will be just perfect after it settles in fully

It took me 2.5 years to figure it out, but it was worth it.
Your drop looks better in person then it does in those pics. Your wheel wells are even all around, making your car look finished, not lowered. That's what will set it apart from the others. Of course there's the handling benefit too.

im 99% sure i want H&R's, but in those pics, they STILL look high. Will they settle down in the future? and if so, how far further will it drop. Its hard to give up the drop from my ground controls for the drop on the H&R's, but im willing to do so.
Progress or H&R's??????? DUN DUN DUN!

i think because im a 5 spd, that the front sits JUST a tad higher than it would on an auto, but it may still need time to settle i dunno, but i drove it for almost 1000 miles already and i think its as settled as low as its gonna go, more pics will be taken soon.

how much did u pay for the tokico blues? because i was thinking about the H&R setup...i might pay 150 for a used set (1 year) (also have to make a post about that) and i wanted to do everything all at once. and i would like to know if this is best combo witht he H&R's?

i think its the second or third best combo with the h&r's and it also depends on what ur lookin for in ride quality as opposed to comfort so heres what u can get with the h&r's
1) H&r's + tokico illuminas = amazing handling characterisitics, and great response, little to no body roll
2) H&r's + kyb agx, firmer than illuminas, and very good handling as well, but not as good damping as the illuminas
3) H&r's + tokico blues - as stock like as ur going to get with a drop, very smooth and precise handling less body roll, but not completely alleviated
i got the blue's for free, my bro gave me his, and i don't know how much he paid for them sorry!

i agree i would be happier with a lower drop, but the other day i scraped my y pipe on a speed bump, so any lower and i'd have alot more trouble on speed bumps, im satisfied with this setup
gettin the tokico's for free was awesome
haha i just washed it after coming back from montreal and its still sparkling
