    Anyone have the H&R sport kit from Turner?

    Hi, I am new so dont kill me. I am looking for a suspension package that has good street manners but can still compete at occasional track days. I have decided on the H&R sport / Bilstein spring and damper package with the suspension techniques sway bars from turner motorsports
    http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...0&subcat_id=69

    I like the idea of purchasing a kit instead of pieceing it together and taking other peoples advice on spring rates. Does anyone have any experience with any of these products and are you happy with the results? Can you recommend any other suspension packages? ( im not going for better appearance from lowering ) thanks in advance! -S

    I also run h&r sports with bilstein sports, and I really like the setup for street driving. I have never taken the car to the track. When I bought mine, I bought the springs from Turner, and the shocks from a different site that was running a special, only because it was cheaper that way.

      The perfect set up in my opinion. Have put it on many cars. Found the hr race to be too rough for dd.

        I would have to agree. I run H&R race on my car. I love it, but it is stiff for a dd.

        Try this guy for the set-up you want. He sold me my suspension parts and had the best price anywhere. Great person to deal with.

            I have the same set-up on my car (minus the sways):



            The drop and ride is spot-on for a DD. It will give you another degree or two of negative camber on all four. It is noticable, and you wear the insides of the tires quicker, but it really isn't too bad at all.

              No, you do not need any sort of camber correction with this set-up. When he /\ says noticeable, i'm sure he's talking about after you've driven 60k miles. My Races don't put that much extra wear on the inside.

                Yeah, you aren't gonna go through tires any quicker, but when they do go, you'll notice it on the inboard side first. But again, it is after a pretty long while.

                    Thanks for the input guys!

                    Hookerman: That ride height is the sport kit? Wow, it looks really good, I didnt imagine it would look too much different from stock ( which wouldnt bother me anyways)

                      I run the same set up on my Calypsorot. Only thing Id like different is a little more drop in the front. The rake is almost reversed. Maybe cut one coil off the front spring for just the right drop.
