    will h&r race springs lower my car more

    Will h&r race springs lower my car more then it is currently? i have a unknown spring/ shock brand on the car currently... all i know is it says "made in germany" on it so it must be better then some other crap they sell these days. anyway, my question is if i were to purchase a set of h&r race springs would i go lower? possibly even higher? my cars on euroweaves so a pic of a early with the 15x7 basket weaves on a early model WITH h&r race would be great.

    cant post pics of my car cause the quality is too high, might have seen these pics on the sight numerous times but there the most current/ sexy ones i have. goal is to remove wheel gap so the tires are in the fenders (not stretched, tucked and/or poked) ;D
    also side note, its a little less then a 3 finger gap in the rear, shadows make everything look flush. Front is 2 finger

    slightly but not much and you would have to prob cut a coil and lose the pads in the front . you might as well just buy a coilover set it will give you lots of flexibility with various ride heights imo

      I have an 88 so it has the late wheel arches so idk if this helps much, but heres my E30 with H&R race springs with E90 spring hats in front for a little extra drop. Wheels are 15" with 225/45/15 so about a 4" sidewall. Excuse the missing bumpers/lights, I tried on the plastic bumpers I bought that day.

        thanks for the pic. i feel i almost have the same drop as you, if not your lower ever so slightly, and because my arches are higher i still have wheel gap in the rear unlike you. i might just have to look into some ground controls or something, which i was trying to avoid because of the price and you never make money back with cars...
