H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

Re: H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

you can put lowering springs on stock shock and struts with no problem.

Yes, but you shouldn't. Shocks are valved for a particular ride height. Changing that impacts the shock response.

yea, but would it be a problem for everyday driving?

Yes, it will, more than any other driving. Everyday driving has lots of bumps, that's the issue.

Re: H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

It's ok, I'll probably have the shocks and rollbar installed in 3 weeks, but i can't wait that long to see the car lowered. I don't mind paying double for the work, I don't expect that to be that expensive anyway.

Ladies and gents, H&R springs have been installed. Results are more than satisfactory.

I cannot agree the lowered sport springs are only a visual mod, I feel the car a whole lot more stable and less leaning in corners now than it used to be. Even with (still) the standard shocks.

Visually - the improvement is absolutely awesome. It looks a whole lot different. Also bumps can be felt a whole lot differently :)

Here are some pictures

And this is including using them with the Eibach slightly lowered springs? Tirerack said they would work just fine so I ordered them. I'd like to know if anyone has done this upgrade and had it work properly because I need to cancel this order before it's too late if not.

Re: H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

Indeed, was quite dirty at that moment :)

Here's something to freshen your view of how beautiful this car is :)



By the way, I have a question about the KYB AGX adjustables.. Can they control the ride height ? Actually i'd like to get my rear a bit higher, at this moment i hit stuff below way too often.

Re: H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

The AGX's won't adjust your ride height, only the stiffness of the bump dampening. Of course, if you turn them up, you won't bottom out as much on bumps and the like because there will be less travel in a given time.

Re: H&R Springs + Bilstein shocks + Eibach swaybar

Are there any shocks that are able to adjust the ride height ? May be even active ones, controlled electronically ?

I like my car superlow, but it proves to be near impossible to drive where I live. Roads are just way too bad.
