Around here my H&R race with Billy sports rides great except in areas like Fairhaven and a couple roads around campus that are bad. It gets alittle bouncy. I love the handling and the ride is pretty damn good. Nando has H&R sports and Konis on his ix and he though my car rode close to the same/nicer than his did. He is considering swapping to the race springs because his sports are too soft for him.

Hey, would you mind if I rode in your car...I'd like to get an idea first hand of what the H&R races ride like...

hey thanks moonsspoon for the photoshop job. Looks great! Definitely gonna have to get some smoked tails and shadowline at some point. Drop is a given...

The car looks great. Those wheels fit it really well, but it will make the car when you get some suspension. ;)

[moonsspoon]

Any help? I might have missed a chrome piece, I was a little confused.



Here's a drop:



And here's some smoked tails.

Is the M-tech 1 kit a direct swap on an 87 is?

Pretty much a direct swap...you don't need to fabricate anything, just drill a few holes.

Do you have bumpy roads/frost heaves out there?
If so go with H&R sports!

[SchnellerVert]

H&R Sports, that way if you have road that are trashed you will still enjoy driving the car. A suspension that beat's the snot out of you on a daily basis will make you hate the car.

Please don't shadowline. Those bumpers look perfect
the way they are. Mtech1 wing would complete the package.

I assume that when people are referring to shadowline, they mean window trim only, correct? I couldn't bear painting the bumpers...I bought them new just for the sake of good chrome.

I thought about an m-tech 1 wing before I got the zender, but I really don't like the way the black rubber engulfs the roundel, at least on a white car (I love it on a black car because it doesn't stand out as much)...perhaps if the rubber was painted to match, maybe then.

As far as suspension goes I'm getting mixed messages from different people. Some say go with H&R sports since this is my daily driver...others say go with race, and that they love the way race springs ride on the street. Either way it will be dropped and will close that fender gap, but I just can't decide. Seems like sports is the most logical/practical solution.

Thanks everyone for the compliments/criticism. I'll post more pics when I have better lighting.
