Just got my H&R's and Illuminas!
I put my car in the shop last night to get my H&R's and Illuminas installed, it took them quite a while and they still never finished. I have to pick it up at noon today. He showed me that one of the illuminas was I guess missing a bushing, idk? He said when the car gets put down the bushing should go back up the strut and something is wrong with mine. He told me to try to buy them from NAPA or something.
Any thoughts?
Just talk to pep boys and they said the Stealership is the only place that has the bushing I need, Its gonna run me $45 for that one bushing. 30 Minutes after I told them ok...I thought about it, and why cant they use one of my factory bushings?

It was front passenger side...
its all done and its pretty awesome! I feel lower, feels nicer, ride is great and it's nice to know that I can adjust the struts...im doin some work tomorrow and going to see what it feels like on other settings. Pretty happy!
Dislike: I feel that the front could be a little lower, mainly because I have two 12's in the back and the back sits right above the wheel and it looks great. The front would look good in the same position as the back

This is the main thing I dislike about my H&R springs...and I think the same goes for just about anyone else that has them...

i bought the whole she-bang for my car, so pretty much out with the old, in with the new(except 6 strut mount bolts
). however, my springs are eibach.
i'm gonna install them myself tho(hopefully next weekend)![Embarrassment](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)
as for the setting, what number do you people set them at?
1 is stiff(bouncy)? 5 is soft(less bouncy)?
sorry for thread jacking

Wow your people's roads must be perfect, because here in PA, if I had mine on 4F/4R...I think the bumps/potholes/cracks/canyons in the road would make my car fall apart. I have mine on 2F/3R and it's still a little rough for my liking.

Has anyone cut 1/2 a coil off the the front springs to even the drop?

ive played with it all, AND I LOVE 5F/5R, WITH my 19's on the car i LOVE THE STIFF RIDE
ive tried 5r and 4F but its still a little softer than i like, plus i have a strut bar
i cant stand stand 1f and 1r.........
