Steeda Sportline Springs versus H&R Springs

To reduce the factory-present 1" rake the car has back to front, I installed Steeda springs on the front and H&Rs on the rear.

The H&R springs dropped the car 1.75" in the rear compared to the steeda springs that dropped the car only 1" in the rear.

Initially, I did the steedas only and the front dropped 1.25" with the rear dropping only the as-mentioned 1". This increased the rake present, giving the car an unbalanced stance, which aestetically did not appeal to me.

Here is a picture showing the rear end of the car with both types of springs. At this point, the car looks perfect, my opinion of course.

Final Numbers:
Front: 26.125" fender to ground
Rear: 26.5" fender to ground.

I wanted springs that gave an even gap on the top as there is on the sides. I also wanted springs slightly stiffer than stock (Not the 700+lbs springs typically offered.) So I ended up with Motorsport C springs for the front (650lbs) and Motorsport J springs in the rear (650lbs).

Front 26.75
Rear: 27.25

Not a great pic, but its the only one I have with the wheels and springs. :-D

I have the Eibach sports springs in mine. Dropped the car about 3/4" in the front and about 1" in the rear. I did not want to slam the car just lower the center of balance and reduce the wheel gap. I love the Eibach, excellent ride and the handling improvement was unreal. That's my 2 cents worth...................

BTW.....forgot to add I have added 00R wheels since the pic was taken.
