H&R RWD specific lowering springs

Front view very slight poke in the rear could have gone two or three millimeters more on back spacing

If it really bothers you, you can take them to be machined down.

We have the same spec rears, and I've been thinking about taking 5mm from the rears for a total offset of 50.

Most days I look at them and think they're fine, but then sometimes I'll think taking the 5mm off and they'd be spot-on perfect.

I'm thinking about that. not having any rubbing issues. I really researched before purchasing so a bit disappointed.

This is my third lowering spring and finally I found the right ones. As most of you know all the lowering springs available are built for the AWD, so on the RWD the car looks like it is squatting.

H&R recently introduced lowering springs for the RWD (Part #28701-2) and the drop and stance is very nice. The front is a little lower than the rear which is perfect, because once you drive it evens out and it will not squat too much if you carry people in the rear.

The fronts are a bit softer than the Eibach, but the rears are significantly stiffer. The car turns better and feels sharper for some reason.

I have been running these for a little over a year. They never stop dropping lol. My rear wheels are now tucked inside my fender because they are sagging so much.

You should never settle for less. Your springs are following the same moto.

Anyone know if there's a source in the US for these springs yet other than that ebay seller that charges over $100 for shipping

 

[djerickd]

there isn’t

there isn’t

Thanks, btw, what would be expected running the 28701-1 (awd) set on a rwd G70? Is the front too high, rear too low, or just poor spring rate in the front for rwd?
FWIW, never have passengers or heavy gear in the back if that matters.
TIA

Not sure on a G70. But on a stinger, the front will have a bigger wheel gap. Hence it will look squatted
