H&R Front Springs Arrived!

Well, it took way too long for them to get here (FedEx Ground had to replace the labels on the package because they got scuffed up) but they're finally here. The springs are looking good as new, not a single spec of dirt and the black paint is still minty fresh as Shurik promised. They'll be going on Monday or Tuesday. Stay posted for the results, fellas.

I'll be riding on H&R Fronts and Maxspeed Rears soon, w/OEM Tokicos up front and Blues in the rear. I'm a big fan of the strut setup I have going on, and all I hope to come out of this frontal exchange is a slightly tighter ride.

Little known fact: our struts are made by Tokico. That's why I said OEM Tokicos :P

But yeah, those LED mirrors are looking fairly likely. I'll drop you a PM over the weekend, bro.

Can't say I've seen anyone run this combo. Any reason you chose the Maxspeed in the rear?

Yeah, NY is a motha. I'm riding with Htechs and Illuminas on 3/4...with family in car.. 4/4 by self. Now that I no longer have the comfort of 16' wheels, I'll have to set them to 1/1. lol We'll see. Oh yeah Housecor, Thank you for the great website. Made tackling the install godly easy.

The reason I'm keeping my Maxspeeds in the rear is because they drop less than the H&Rs do in the rear. And I hate how H&Rs make the rear look like its sagging.

Yes!

haha I'm also a fan of spring set ups. That's why I'm running H-techs in front & H&Rs in the rear. Love this set up.
Arnold I can't wait to see the results as well. Well I'm glad you finally got the springs.

Neither can I. I hope I do find the most optimal suspension setup. I absolutely love the car and how tight it feels right now, but to have it feel even tighter and retain the same ride will be blissful -- especially since H&Rs are progressive springs.
