I took a trip to San Jose for a Christmas party at my uncles. I was driving about 80mph on 101S and once I hit those minor dips along the freeway, I would bottom out. I'm running on 18's with 40 series tires, and I even have a 1 finger gap between the tire and fender. Does anyone experience the same problems here with these coilovers? The wheels are hitting the dust guard. When I first put on these coilovers, I've alreeady thought the springs were too soft to be so low. They ride almost like stock but just slightly stiffer, but they hug the road extremely well. Since I bought these from a private seller I just don't know if he had requested a softer spring rate from the manufacture. Are there even optional spring rates if you were to purchase a set of h&r coilovers from h&r? I may need stiffer coils to prevent from bottoming.

 

I'm pretty low in the front but I'm only running 17 X 8 with a 235/40/17. No issues so far. At first I couldn't believe how compliant the ride was for being so low, and worried that I may bottom out up front but after some spirited cornering and taking a variety of bumps and dips on the highway it hasn't happened once. Rates from H&R should be Front: 9.2 kg/mm / 515 lbs/in, Rear: 5.1 kg/mm / 285 lbs/in. No custom rates are available as far as I know.

 

post pictures of your car.

my car is slammed on stance coilovers. they ride really well and never bottom out but my spring rates are 18/10.

 

Maybe I just might be hitting the edge of the fender then. It does sound more like a scrape than a bump from buttoming. I thought if my tires are stretched it should clear. I will double check it.

 

my friend with a SupraTT has H&R COILOVERS...he has had no problems with them...he actually loves them...rides like stock almost from what he claims.....he drives it from santa ana to stockton ca all the time!!!

Planning to get these in the near future though!!!!

 

im looking to buy some also...good to hear a lil good of it

 

whats the lowest these coilovers go?

 

ruck if ur looked to get slammed u wanna get a fully threaded coil so the dampenr wont ger hurt by all the car symetcrial flexing. but go with stances

 

T70 Supra: Go with English. Dampenr ger ur...


Now, I believe the previous poster had a question. Here are some pics of SpuGen's car on some of the lowest possible heights with the H&R setup.

 

You can definitely slam your car with h&r coilvovers, but I don't recommend it. You want stiffer if you're going way way low. H&R are bit on the soft side, just slightly stiffer than stock.

 

thank yall for responding to my question

 

Sup TrackMonky, back to this topic again. I'm still having the bottoming out affect. Can you tell me if you ever cut the bumpstop from installing the h&r coilovers?
