does anyone have any pics of b5's sitting on H&R's? just the springs... i wanna get some springs and it says that the H&R's will dropp about 1.9 front and 1.5 rear... also if i install the springs do i need to do an alignment? what about eibachs? are they better than H&r's in terms of quality and durability?

 

I have H&R's and they make the car pretty low, the front will still sit higher than the rear and it won't be as low as coilovers. I strongly suggest getting good struts(bilstein's or koni's) while you do the springs, might as well since it would actually be easier if you bought a set where the fronts are already assembled, and you probably need them anyways. The car will ride and handle so much better. Cars with just lowering springs ride like garbage and cause the stock struts to blow out.

Your allignment will be off, but you don't need to get one. You will where tires faster than with a stock suspension but usually it isn't terrible.

I actually broke an H&R spring recently, but my car has seen years of Buffalo winters and they are super rusty. Either way Eibach and H&R have lifetime warranties. I have also had Eibach sportlines and pro kit springs on my cobras and have been satisfied. The sportlines were paired up with bilsteins, started using them with stock shocks and it was a night and day difference in ride quality and handling. I also had tein s springs on an srt4 and they weren't bad either.

 

i was actually thinking of getting lowering springs for now... then save up for coilovers... how long do i have until the stock shocks will "blow" ? and also u said that the tires tend to wear out faster? why is this? sorry just currious lol
