Hey guys,
As promised, here they are. I guess the pix tells the whole story. H&R advertize their Sport springs for the coupe (which is what I used) will lower our cars 1.1"/1". I didn't measure how much it actually dropped but it's around there.

1st pic: alignment specs (basically initial is specs when initially lowered; final is after adjustment without any correction kit)
2nd pic: stock height
3rd - 5th: product (sry for the dirty car, need to find some time to do a good washing, but it has been raining in here for almost 30days straight now)

Question: It seems like my rear camber and everything else is within or very close to OEM specs, so I probably don't have to worry about that. But the front camber is off. Anyone want to chime in please? From the severity that the front camber is off, is the cost for premature tire wear greater than that of a front correction kit??


THanks a bunch

 

looks great

 

i think you are fine.

 

I think you will see some uneven tire wear front right since its out almost a degree.

 

looks real sweet,alignment should not be much of a problem,how does it ride compared to stock

 

i'm also interested to hear if that amount of difference will require correction. the ride looks sweet though! interested to hear about the ride quality.

 

thanks for the compliments.
The ride quality is very much close to stock, bare in mind that I do have the sport suspension from factory. Body roll during even normal cornering is very much reduced and the car feels much more predictable and safer during mid-speed turns. The car also feels less "floaty". That's all I can say right now as it has been raining hard for the past few days since I have the springs on.

Springs + labour + alignment cost me $600CAD or $420USD

Check this thread in a day or two, i'll update when I get the chance to drive it more and ask my friends to sit at the back to compare the rear springs to the stock ones.

 

I am considering the same springs, I am curious if going with dampening shocks like the D Specs would make the ride that much smoother?

 

nice

 

Lookin good but your going to have uneven tire wear.

My camber is almost identical to yours. I got 350EVO A-Arms and Stillen Rear Camber Arms. You may want to look into camber kits as well since they'll pay off in the long run as far as flipping and replacing tires all the time.

 

Wow dude that newer looking oem wing is HOT with a drop.

But yea.. I would suggest aftermarket arms. They will pay off in the long run.

 

if i get camber kits, i only need it for the front right? From the alignment printout, i see that the technicians have not adjusted almost anything for the front camber, do our cars have no "room" for camber adjustments in the front?

PS: after a few more days of driving, i can conclude that these springs do make the feel of going through uneven or rough roads more pronounced, which in my books is a good thing.

 

On our cars camber and caster are not adjustable and if you get a camber kit get both sides.

 

I don't see how is this correct. If one looks at the spec sheet i attached, one can see my rear camber getting close to OEM specification. So, can't one conclude that there IS some adjustability? At least at the rear?

 

That looks nice man, enjoy.
