Does anyone know if the H&R's have an uneven drop (front/rear) on an AWD 2IS? Mainly concerned whether or not the front will be higher than the rear, or is it pretty much even. I've seen other springs were the front was noticeably higher than the rear

Default lowering

Just thought id ask those that have had the h&r springs on for a while now, has tire wear been more than usuall?
How are the shocks holding up?
I want to lower my awd but not looking forward to having to change tires and shocks prematurely.

It really depends how many miles you have. If you have over 70k miles, I'd say it's cheaper to just get coils rather than install springs now then have to buy and install shocks later...

If the car/suspension has very low miles then you'll be fine. My tire wear was fine with H&R springs.

I'm now on coils since since my shocks were softening up and it was comparible in price to shocks + labor to replace them.

So your saying as the shocks softened up you went with coils instead of replacing the shocks since the cost was about the same? And by using coils you would regain the stiffness with newer shocks?
