    Why Dave? Why would you need cabby springs? :)

    Help us out guys - I don't have the cojones to rock the H&R's around here, so instead of Dave going and finding another set for himself, I'm sending them his way and putting on either eibachs or H&R sports.

    My cab's going to be a daily driver - no track use. I've got the 87 es for that with GC's.

            Pfft. Cabrio springs = regular springs with a couple 10mm pads stacked.

              eh? spring rates are the same? Can I/should I get H&R sports for a COUPE if I want a slightly lower drop than the cabby h&r sports and less drop than the cabby h&r race?

                checkitout.

                I want to lower the cabby EVENLY - I don't want this rake shit.

                According to TMS, the H&R races on the car now lower the car -1.6 in the front, and -1.5 in the rear. Taking into account that it's a cabby, it's probably closer to 2" and 1.8.

                I want to be somewhere around 1.5, maybe even 1.25 drop in the front, and 1.3 or 1 in the rear.

                Can I do a COUPE set to get where I'm trying to go, or will I have to mix and match or something? Also, are the spring rates on the COUPES different, or is it just the spring lengths that make a set cabby specific?

                  my peabrain thinks that normal H&R sports should accomplish about what you want.

                    Even if the rates were different, it would be negligible.

                    H&R Sports sound about right, you can just play with spring pads afterwards to get the "just-right" height.

                      Scott, I am on H&R Sports right now. If you wanna swap your Race's for my sports (straight up even trade ;)) Let me know. I'm poor.

                        If I find another set of springs for me instead of Scott, that might be a good deal.

                          That's up to you Dave - if you want to find another set of H&R races, or go IE...you get the first shot at these races though.

                          Fuckballs Willy is next in line - if Dave decides to fend for himself, you and I can swap kiddo.

                              I still can't decide if I want to tough it out on these races either...I need to see what a cabby on coupe H&R sports looks like....
