For those of you with a 5 speed and H&R springs- are you riding level or is the nose in the vehicle higher than the rear?

 

I'll let you know starting tomorrow...and also once they settle

 

how long does it take for the new springs to settle in?

 

I bought used H & R's that were cut. The ride height is level and I have two subs, two amps, and alot of other stuff in the trunk.

 

my rear sagged a little at first, but the drop was even, and now the car looks completely even, i need to take new pics

 

The car's rear does look a little lower than the front when i first got them. But the measurement from the ground to the apexi of the wheelwell is about 26.75 on both the rear and front. They soon or later get use to the car's weight.

 

Mine sag a little, but just installed a month ago. Barely noticable however. (My friend can't see it, but I can)

I had B&G's before this. The rear was 1 full inch LOWER than the front.

Those springs suck azz!

 

my rear sags a bit with my 2 12" subs back there.....


not the best pic, but if my front were about 3/4" lower i would be sooo happy. at least i didnt get B&Gs....

 

There isn't a sag, it's a visual illusion. The rear tire wells a quite a bit smaller than the fronts therefore it gives the look of sagging. It's funny to read people constantly complaining about this, but then they say it looks so cool when BMW tucks their rear tires yet the fronts aren't tucked


I don't notice any sag and my car is perfectly level when I put a level on the roof.

yeah, its an illusion, but it still "looks" like it's sagging. and with a stereo in the back, i really do think it sags a little bit. nobody else notices it bue me, so i guess its not too bad. i just wish we could do something about the rear wheel wells.

 

Pat...not riding nose high at all..here are some pics from last night...oh and they were installed yesterday..H&Rs with AGXs

 

mine seems to be pretty level even though my back look a little lower

 

I'm happy with the way mine sits. I wasn't too happy with the difference that existed to begin with, but the front springs seemed to settle a lot over about a month's time.

 

Good thread, Patrick.
nupe500, it looks to me like your rear is sitting a litter lower than your front. May just be that illusion that they were talking about with the wheel wells.

How are the AGX's with the H&R's as far as ride quality? Good? Compare to stock.....*still kicking myself for not buying those AGX's when I should have...ha ha*

 

The ride quality is a vast improvement over the GXE springs and struts...and the lowering has helped greatly...I love the drop..although I migh change the settings on the agxs

 

Nupe, your car is pimp!

 

...lol...thanks...be careful with that word...it can start lots of trouble
