a guy in sydney (where i live) is selling his used H&R springs for $290, he says he bought it for $700

i can get NEW Tien S Techs for 500, but im a student (17y/o) and my money is limited, so i wanna save, but are their any problems with H&R springs??
i'll be back with more detail tomrrow, like how many km's are on em and stuff

I hate my Tein S techs. They sit far too low in the back.
Let me clarify that. I don't mind how low it is in the back if the front matched. It does not the back sits way lower than the front. Does not look well at all.

i was thinking about tein s tech, but then decided to go with h&r because h&r the drop is even, better than tein s tech
didnt wanna get eibach because i tho it was only an inch drop, but i found out there is a eibach for 250 which gives u a 1'4 drop
so in the end i went with eibach, heard the ride is smooth with eibach as well

35.5 Inches is 90.2cm, which is almos the same as the DF210 with 18s.
So 18s on DF210 = 19s on H&R.
What about the fender gaps (from fender to top of rim - not rubber). Measure both Front and Rear?

My car with stock sport springs sat much higher in the front than in the rear. So the difference between FR & R Teins is 0.4" which is not enough to even it out.
In the rear my fender is pretty much no gap with the tire, but in the front it's maybe 1 finger.

I not sure i follow, when u put on new springs, whatever springs u had previously doesn't come into play . Your new springs will give the car the drop the spring is designed to do.
Unless there is something that holds you car higher in the front that is not spring related, i don't know.
