Smile H&R Springs fitted

Got the H&R's last week and finally got round to taking some photos. Gave the car the treatment this morning and then took a few snaps.

Really pleased with the springs, I think it really improves the look of the car, but still retains the handling.













And took a photo of my new boost guage.

They look great !! Well I would say that as I am running a set on mine !!

They really drop the car well without causing handling problems and maintaining comfort levels I have found... What wheels are you running on yours, are they 17" or 18" I can't quite make the size out ??

I think we did talk before about the springs but it was not me that suggested drmotorsport, I had mine from http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ great bit of kit arn't they !!
Mine dropped 20mm all around I measured from the floor up the centre of the wheel to the highest point in the arch.... currently 630mm on the front and 625mm on the back just to give you an idea against yours and I have new age 17's on the same tyre size as you are running

This was a thread of mine you may find interesting from the other week
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=426921

Yours looks great by the way... do you go to many meets over there ?
I must be honest everyone that has seen mine has complimented me on the ride height and how it sits... stand by for the same

It looks well with the 18's, but i think im gonna stick with the 17's for now. Been spending my hard earned cash to quickly at the mo, running out fast!!!
I meant to measure the height before I put them in but only remembered when it was on the ramp. Ill have to measure it later to see how its sitting now.
Trying to get the scoobynetters over here to meet up is like drawing blood from a stone!!! Was at the Japfest meet a few weeks ago, some nice cars there.

Your car looks a peach mate, I`ve been looking at springs for a while now and the car does seem to sit nicely on the H&R springs so i think i`l be ordering a set as well.
