H&R Sports Aren't as Low as others?
 
I have recently put my H&R Sports springs on about a month ago. The rear of the car looks higher than the front of the car, and higher than i've seen anyone's on the site--w/ h&r's. Any ideas of why my rear would be higher then the rest of everyones? I don't have my spare--could that be a factor? Also, is there any real way i can mess the install up, w/out breaking anything? I'll try to post some pics later! Thanx!

Hmm, weird. I have H&R sports on my Civic (should be same) and my rear is actually lower than the front. My car naturally has the front sitting higher, that's why the srpings were made to drop the front more. But my rear is tucked with 17's. You have pics? I'll post pics of my car asap...

I have h&r sports and my front is about 1/4 of an inch or so lower than the back........it's supposed to be like that. I think the stance looks mean anyways. Is the difference pretty big? If so you could have put the rear springs on the front, and vice versa.

It is supposed to be a bit uneven, but also, have you given the springs time to settle?

Can you use H&R Sports without camber and not eat up your tires? I've heard you can just get an alignment and you'll be fine.

Most people I know have been able to get away w/o a camber kit with the h&r sports. Get an allignment and if they cant get it done right then go get a kit.

i have h&r sports with koni's, i haven't got an alignment yet, but the camber is bad enough to wear at the tires. i've only had them for a month or so though, so not much wearing has taken place.

Here is my '97 GS with H&R Sport Springs, KYB AGX Shocks and the front camber kit installed. The back is definitely higher by about 1/4" but then again it's supposed to be. It definitely has settled down a bit in the back over he past year.

As for the tires wearing, I had it lowered without the camber kit and it was pretty off, enough to where I pulled it all apart and put the camber kit in, since then the tires are fine with no signs of wear at all.
