Lowering
I'm deciding to lower my ride.
I found some springs and I'm currently speaking to the seller about how many inches it lowers the car. He says it lowers the front 1.2" and the rear 0.4". Since you guys are more experienced with lowering, I'm looking for some insight before purchasing. Am I wasting my time purchasing it? Because to me 0.4" on the rear doesn't seem like much of a difference being that the rear is so tall compared to the front's ride rake. |

0.4" is really too little to make it worth the effort. i have H&R springs on my 650GC and while the whole thing is appreciably lower, another half inch in the front and quarter or half in in the rear would have been much nicer. of course, you'll have to look up how much H&R lowered my car, as i don't know exactly. what, 1.0" or 1.1" probably all around

I commented in your other post as well....... Looks to me like he just wants to sell you his springs and will say anything it takes to do so ! Most of us lower our cars about an inch with no problems whatsoever. I also have 10MM spacers in front and 12MM spacers in the rear....no issues, no rubbing. Do yourself a favor and look for springs elsewhere. |

I am going with the KW HAS>
Every car I have dropped with springs all ride so damn stiff and that defeats my want for a lower car. Guys that have the KW HAS please chime in and share what the ride quality is, all I have read has been positive. |

Just look for H&R springs on their website...you cannot go wrong with it. Those springs are designed for your car unless you have c aggressive offset after market wheels.
