H&R lowering spring

[UltimaX5]

I'm not worried because I always have stuff in my trunk so I will always have that rake

I know Eibach's Springs drop is 1.4" front/ 1.2" rear...but I can't seem to find the drop on the H&R Springs...can someone help out? Been searching the forum for the past 30 minutes

It's 1.3 inch for the front and 1.2 inch for the rear for AWD models.

Wanted to go more low

Any clearance issues as far as dips in the road, driveways,etc?

We're talking Spacers here correct? I'm only putting name brand hub-centric spacers on my car that I know are made from high quality material and products and are made specifically for my make and model. In this case that would be Eibach or H&R. Khartunerz even has the NGT ones, although I like the H&R ones better. Anything that my wheel is being mounted too you better believe i'm going to pay for high quality/safety.

Amazon is great for that other stuff, but wheel spacers, ill pass.

Normally I'd agree with you on that statement but I've purchased KSP performance spacers which are identical to those and they're made of T6 forged aluminum, they're hubcentric, with heat treated pre-pressed hardened 10.9 bolts. Many suppliers are using the exact same spacers just rebranding them and jacking up the price. You do have some seriously shitty products on the market that live on Ebay and amazon, but they're not forged, they usually aren't hubcentric etc.

If you're using a hubcentric spacer and having vibration issues it's likely either an installation error (not torquing them to the correct spec, not torquing them in a star pattern, not cleaning the hub with a brush before installing them etc.) Or you have another issue like tire wear that the spacers are just amplifying.

Depends on AWD vs RWD

Both part #'s AWD 28701-1 and RWD 28701-2 advertise 1.3" drop in front and 1.2" drop in back, however the front springs are different on RWD than AWD hence why people have been ordering the RWD versions from Germany as their not sold in USA. The RWD specific set is categorized as part #28701-2 BUT are supposed to include the same rear springs (20mm) as the AWD #28701-1 set. The front springs should have the #28701-2 stamped on them. The rear springs (20mm) should have the #28701-1 stamped on them.

Hope this helps. To me H&R is night and day better than Eibach's on RWD. AWD is more subjective.

No issues at all

Just ordered the -2 setup from eBay, should be shipped out soon

Do you have the link -2 for the rwd ?
The other thread with ebay links are no longer available.

The amazon ones that I took off and returned, looked IDENTICAL to the NGT ones for sale on some of these online Stinger parts stores... I couldn’t spot the difference. The slight vibration made me nervous, and made me feel like I would need to take off the wheels/tires and constantly check them. So I just took them off til my H&R springs get here. I really want the spacers look, they just made me real anxious
I’d also wonder was 15mm front and the 20mm rear would look like

I’m using Whiteline Heavy Duty End Links.

Is there a specific size Whiteline end link you had to use with the H&R drop springs?

Firstly I don’t have lowered springs.
There is only 1 end link set for the Stinger made by Whiteline, I have mine set to the OE lengths.
If you lower your car you won’t need to adjust the end links, lots of owners have lowered their cars are still on factory end links which are not adjustable.

Yeah what he said ^. I’m lowered on H&R springs. Endlinks are stock. No change needed

Thanks, having to replace my passenger oem link because it's worn out (discovered during spring install)
Figured I'd replace both with something beefier.

Any issues with the finish. Read somewhere that they tend to rust (cosmetic)
