    H&R Race Springs + Stock Shocks?

    I'm already embracing myself for the heat.

    JUST WONDERING what I can expect. Not going to be daily driven...track use only. I know from past experience/learning that it's not advised, they won't last long, etc., but I'm really just wondering how feasible it is for temporary use. I know they say when you're in there you might as well replace them, but the problem is I'm not loaded with money at the moment and therefore have to wait to get shocks, but still want to have the benefits of a lower stance and tighter handling.

    Your car prolly would handle better with a good set of bilsteins / konis with stock springs than Race springs and 20 year old dookie dampeners

    I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

      It would be a bad idea and a waste of time / labor. Spring and Shock need to work together, otherwise you'll have a severely overdamped or underdampled suspension

            Alright, fair enough. Guess they'll sit for another year then.

                Unless you can find me a job right now in Milwaukee.

                (I was being slightly sarcastic with the year thing, but only slightly.)

                  What about tokico blues over Konis/Bilsteins?


                  Simplicity is your best option!

                    therefore, their value is much greater.
