where is the cheapest place to get the H&R cup kit?

[mcgrath]

My suspension is due for a change. I am thinking about the H&R cup kit. The cheapest I have found so far is $671.25 shipped. Anyone know of a better place to get these from?

be advise, it will lower the car quite a bit. thats what I got now and have to consider addressing rear camber fixes to address tire wear.

the kit gives the car a pretty slammed look. i personally like it,just makes for some interesting driving around drive ways and parking lots from time to time.

I can get you a BTS kit shipped for that much if you like.... made by bilstein and not as low as the H&R, and handles great

Height doesn't really scare me. The roads I travel here in FL are pretty smooth. I am going to get adjustable camber mounts for the front and I have a spare rear sub frame that I will be installing the IE adjustable mounts on. I haven't heard anything about the BTS system. How does it handle vs the cup kit? Also I am running the old RD springs which are pretty stiff and I would like it to stay that way if possible.

Then the Cup Kit is not the way to go if you want stiff.

Who else might you recommend then? I have heard that the IE stage 3 springs are nice, thats about it.

cup kit is pretty soft... but rides nice on smooth surfaces....

Carr Industries does the H&R race + Bilstein Sports for 700 shipped on Ebay.. got for that if you want low and stiff (and non-adjustable)

Go with the IE3s instead of the H&R race since you have an early model. They are the same rates, the IE3s are just lower in the back so you don't get a giant rake. They are nice and stiff too.

[mcgrath]

cool, thanks for the input everyone.

the h&rs ride better and do not give the car a giant rake. it just retains the rake the car should have instead of sitting flat.

I don't know about ride quality as I have only ridden on the IE3s, but there rates are the same so they should ride the same. And e30s shouldn't have rake, it just makes the weight distribution even worse.
