please and thank yous!

Those of you that have used the H&R's are you scraping a lot?

Thanks.

You might still need to mod the fender liners from what I know H&R is a 1.7" drop in front which is slightly higher then where im at on my coils and I rub like crazy that im taking the liners off on sat morning and then spray painting some rhino bed liner to still have some protection

i did scrap few times. Of course i under estimated alot of drive ways pulling out into traffic not taking my time. Just be cautious and pull out of driveways slowly. I did manage to strike parking bricks and curbs. I did not rub on stock set up with h&r.

H&Rs all day. I had them for around 5 months, scraping was minimal and so was the rubbing. I had 19x8.5 front and 19x10s in the back without any fender work and never rubbed. The ride was also super comfortable.

I only scrape if i leave a parking lot too quickly or hit a noticeable bump in the road. I do rub on slow tight turns but it's because i'm on 20's with 30 offsets in the front and 5mm spacers.

H&R springs had them for over a year, no fender mods needed. still able to make it over speed bumps head on. only need to angle my car when going over a crazy huge dip into or out of 1 parking lot so far.

Ok well everyone is saying to go with H&R for stock struts... what about if your changing your struts as well? What would be recommended for strut/spring combo? I am looking for a nice 1-2" drop, I am having the fenders rolled, I am on 18's and would like NOT to scrape...

How much are you spending on struts and coils? I bet you could get some megan ez street coil overs for roughly the same price and you would be on adjustable coils where you can play with how low you can go and if it doesnt work raise it back up... Trust I had your same idea and then was convinced that it'd be the same for a coil set up that I can easily adjust... If you go 2" you will be about a finger gap or lower and you may have to also relocate the bumper tab up front depending on your rim size and tire size
