Nice, my car is going into shop in the morning about 8 and they're gonna look at my suspension to see where I focked up in the installation. Took it there today and they said that my front was WAY too low, sitting on about a 3" drop. Back looks almost stock, I think it MIGHT have dropped .5" or so. If they find I got the wrong springs or something I'm gonna get the s-tech's like u got for like $150 shipped off groupbuy thanks to random. :thumbup:

Back in the day when I had Neuspeed Race springs, (mated with stock shocks) it was supposedly a 2.5" drop and I still had about a two finger gap all the way around (slightly lower in the rear). And this was with 205/40/16 tires. Don't know what you have in terms of tire size, but if you are planning on getting the Neuspeed Race, I hope that your tire size would make up for the gap that was left by the springs.

If they determine that you got the wrong springs, I would just have adventon exchange the for the correct H&R springs. H&R is really good

Just got home from the shop......and they are the wrong springs. Kauffman said somehow adventon must have gotten mixed up or whatever and sent me the wrong ones. They were really nice too, didn't charge me anything for looking at em. Well I would see if I could do that but my folks accidentally threw my stock springs and struts away when I left to go back to college without me knowing. I'm just gonna order a different set that has an even drop on R and F. I have 205/40/17 tires and I am wanting maybe 1 1/2-2 finger gap after I drop it, so what springs do yall suggest. Gonna be ordering em today so let me know as soon as you can. Thanks again guys!

That much gap will look funny with your big 17 inch wheels. If you want that much gap, maybe get the eibach prokit.

What car is the springs for that you have?

Maybe you could buy another set of h&r's at adventon, then return your current springs.

Hope your decision making process goes well.

I would.....but I'm kinda worried about buying more springs from adventon since they sorta screwed me this last time. I would feel more comfortable ordering from somewhere else. I'm really leaning toward the Tein S-Tech springs since I've heard nothing but good reviews on all Tein products but we'll see. Would like more suggestions though if anybody has any more?

Sorry you had a bad experience with adventon. You should call them to tell them what's up. I had a great experience with them.

I don't know much about the tein s-tech's. I've heard great stuff about their coilovers, but havn't heard anything about their springs. I'm sure they would be good though.

If I were you I would either get neuspeed sports, or H&R sports (that are for your car).

What is the product number of your current H&R's? I'm currious what they actually fit.
