Ride quality with HR race??

[Van Westervelt]

i have plenty. search for any shots of my car when it was 4 lug. thats the setup i was on.

oh man.........im just gonna leave this alone and go to sleep now...

yeah, lower and softer, but don't think that means any suspect extreme..

for example, imo sports would be too soft.

and this is just the front i'm worried about. I might end up trying different front and rear springs. Not sure yet.

I'll try to hunt down some eibach e30 pics though.

If you want it lower and softer, go Eibach.

I guess the ride height depends on what setup you have on your vehicle. I have seen pictures where some people have the exact ride height as me, while like jje30 mention; his dropped 2 inches (318 vs 325?)

yeah, maybe i'll go with the 318 springs?
if it'll drop it down more in the front. And if the rear gets too low I can
always add additional spring pad.

A slight drop in springrate would actually be preferable as well.

Any thoughts? on that?

can you tell me more? (i know it's hard to explain via text but..)
like how stiff is it? I like it stiff too, I worry more about passengers.

You wouldn't happen to have a pic would you??

Car in my sig is on H&R race.

I have a set of HR Sports and bil sports looking to go to the races. Whats the cheapest you guys have found these springs [new]

just took mine on a 1300 mile road trip, alot in the mountains of wva, and lots of n. carolina twistys.. ride quality is great IMO on the h&r race springs. we had the car loaded down part of the time hauling stuff around, and no rubbing or anything. spring rates are just stiff enough, but rides still very forgiving..

stance.

All the pics of the white e30 in those two galleries are on H&R Races. Remember, the car isn't sitting still in any of them, so the wheel gap may be hard to compare. I'm on stock sway bars also.

[Tad]

Could I see some more pics?

search isn't turning up much at all..

[JJe30]

Everyone lists races as the same as sports but it's not the same. Mine dropped 2-2.25 inches.

It is to my knowledge that the race and sport sit at very similar heights if not the same. As for me, I have H&R sport and I think its perfectly suitable for Bay Area streets, of course I really am curious to see how my car will be like once I get Race springs.

sports just dont do it, cup kit sucks, konis are overrated this is the best ride EVAR

btw there are many MANY threads about this topic SEARCH

I agree.

Races are more than fine for street use. I love mine with Bilstein sports and stock bars.
