    Dialing ride height with H&R Sports?

    Did a bunch of searching but can't quite find what I'm looking for.

    What would it take to get the sports to sit at half an inch wheelgap in the front, and roughly the same in the rear except slightly higher? Everything I've seen is to get lower all around it seems.

    Will the fronts need a drop hats to get there? What size spring pads in the front/rear?

    if you need lower in the front, ditch pads and use the drop hats. if you need higher in the back, start stacking pads up or ditch weight in the trunk. by removing the sound deadening (50-60lbs) my car raised up a little in the rear.

        I see what you mean, but what's tough is that it looks like the sport/bilstein setup varies so much from car to car. some perfect, some lifted, some lower than the races I had before.

        I won't be doing coils. Just looking for something comfortable and not as jacked up as stock for the new dd

            9mm top pads in the front and 14.5mm pads in the back. K's iX has the thick front pads and thick rear pads installed top AND bottom.

              I don't know which car that is. Any pics of it?

              Here is mine (stock height):


              The drop on this car is pretty much what I'm looking for, except a c hair lower in the front:

              From the suspension height thread, mtech springs I think.

                You arent using the H&R race springs from the 2 door? That will be about the right height.
