ATTN: Owners with H&R springs

I just recently put my H&R springs on my car and in the front I measured from the ground to the fender and isn't 1.4 inches lower. Could any of you with the springs measure to see what your's is at. It would help alot.

how rough or how soft are the maxspeeds. i wanna drop but not slammed and nice ride at that. h&r seems like it would give a nice ride but not enough drop with 18s and eibachs seem they drop nicely and might be a little harsh. so are the maxspeeds right in the middle. the teins are to slammed for me

maxspeeds are in the middle between H&R and tein....the teins are a bit lower, just as the maxspeeds are a bit lower than H&R....

they are comfortable enough for me, def not like stock tho...

they are stiff over bumps, but this can be expected with any lowering spring

Can I get people with H&R springs to measure from the ground to the fender cause mine is still a 1/2 to high from what they stated it would lower it to and I have had them on for at least 6 weeks.

So...Myownnismo, how does it ride on the HR's? Are you running with the stock shocks? I wouldn't mind a bit lower, but don't want to get too harsh on the ride. I'd like to end up a little lower running 18's (someday).

Rides great and I have 19's on stock shock till the illuminas come out.
