H&R 2" drop springs. Rides like stock. Only thing I noticed is that if my wife doesn't drive the car for a day or so then initially it's bouncy. But only lasts for a few minutes and then rides like stock.

Great looking wheels and stance...

I'm currently wheel shopping myself.

Damn you seen it when it was super dirty. Was away from the islands for work so didn't have a chance to wash the car.

U got the 2 inch H&R kit and it rides like stock? Can I ask how? I have the 1.2 kit and the ride is ok, but I noticed the limit in suspension travel over large bumps at speed. I read many said the 2 inch kit is unbearably bad, did you do anything differently?

I read all the posts about people saying that the 2" drop was unbearable also. Honestly, I have no idea what they are complaining about. Lol. Put it this way, the wife doesn't complain about the ride quality.

Lol yeah I know I have the 2" drop. Haha.

Edit: checked the box today and part # is 50435-2 which matches the H&R website.

yup. Friday afternoon. On the way back to HNL for about 4 hours of sitting around and then a red-eye back to SEA. Sucked.

alpin325 · 03-11-2015, 07:04 PM

That setup is nice!

hatmandew · 04-23-2015, 01:33 PM

Looks awesome. I just ordered 20" forgestar's and the 1.2 H&R springs. Can't get as aggressive as you being in Detroit and the king of horrible roads.

GcD · 04-26-2015, 08:27 PM

Looking good bruddah.

Da808dad · 08-16-2015, 09:39 PM

Added a Vorsteiner front lip.
