I like the rear H&R drop, but the front could be a little lower. But these springs ride great and are comfortable.

I have H&R and no they don't provide a big drop. The ride, however, is soooooooo much better than stock

Did you keep the stock struts/shocks, or swamp them out for something else?

For me the H & R springs are to high or it could be because the guy had small rims. I'm planin on Eibach.

Everyone, thanks for posting these links. For whatever reason, my car is sitting lower on the H&R/Tokico setup than what I am seeing here. Is it possible that the H&R springs sag after a while? On the rear the "finger gap" test allows only one of my fingers in the gap between the body of the car and the OEM rim with 235/45 Dunlop tires.

Any thoughts?

I have H&R with Tokico Blues. The stock struts cannot handle the greater compression generated by an aftermarket spring.

I kept the stock struts for now. They work for everyday driving. When they start to go, I will replace with AGX.

...To do a full flush and fill at a lube service place, where they remove ALL your old fluid (this is what I did) you will need 12 quarts of synthetic.

If you just drain and fill, you need maybe 5 or 6 quarts. Obviously the full flush will give better results, your choice.

The H&R's are still on stock struts/shocks have been for a year now. Still rides pretty good. I will probably get Toks Blues eventually.

I'm riding on H & R's and I am unhappy with the front drop, rear could use work but is better...I have had mine for over a year now and no, they have not settled at all...I am running stock struts, too...I do love the ride though

Go with MAXSPEEDS! They are cheep, they are made by the same people that make H&R, and the drop is really nice. I used to be able to sick my whole hand in the front of my wheel well, now I can barley fit 1 finger! AND The drop is even in the front and back.
