Default Quick question [Dropping on H&R springs]

Hello~

Does anyone know if dropping on H&R from stock height on stock 18" would cause any rubbing? Also, does anyone have a picture of drop on H&R on stock 18"? Thanks

I have H&R Sport Springs with the stock 18" wheels and there's no rubbing that I've experienced.

Sorry to thread hijack, but I've read somewhere that h&r springs will wear your stock shocks out faster... has this been proven?

That's what they say. Your shock will be slightly compressed more since it's dropped. You will also feel the road a bit more since there is less rebound in the shock.

not only the particular spring that were talking about here gonna cause problem in your shock,every spring that it's not oem with your car i,e, aftermarket will create problem the only difference is how long it will stay intact til it break

No rub on my car with H&R even with a full ride....i do wish the backs did drop a little more, the H&Rs give the car a more aggressive front dip...wish it was evened out more.
