If based on the info you put into ECS, that your car is a '97 2.8 30V then yes they will fit.

here is the link to the H&R site (get the product number that fits your application, you were looking at race springs so those would be 29996-1)
http://www.hrsprings.com/scripts/app...Find3&MakeID=3

when ordering from a website, just make sure that it matches the product number 29996-1. shop around and find a good deal. go with a reputable site, I tell everyone to avoid eBay but if you must you must.

Can't tell you if you'll scrape, I have H&R sports on Bilstein sport struts and I have no issues. The cars sits nice without much int he way of harshness on the road.

 

thanks man. whats the diff. between sport and race by the way? is there any additional things you would HAVE to buy w/either? I just wanna lower look because I just got black 18's w/chrome lips and I am not feeling the way its sitting high.

 

It appears you haven't looked through the stickies located at the top of the forums.

The difference between race springs and sport springs is that race springs will sit lower. I only know for a fact that the sport springs are close to the stock spring rate so the ride isn't too harsh, I'd have to see what the spring rate is for the race set-up, although I'm sure being that much lower you will feel more bounce going over bumps.

H&R race springs will generally drop you 1.9" in front and 1.5" in the back.
H&R sports drop 1.5" in the front 1.0" in the back.

As far as buying anything extra....I have no idea what you mean. I do suggest that you have shocks that are rated for lowering purposes, i.e, Koni's, Eibach's, etc. If you are just putting on springs over stock shocks, you will kill the shocks in couple of months.

Another issue you may have running 18's is tire width and lowering may cause the tire to rub on the upper control arm assembly, therefore you would have to get wheel spacers.

Like I said, all of this has usually been tackled if you look through the other posts from forums members. Search is your best friend. Don't mean to come off as a dick but not many people will choose to keep answering these questions.

Let us know what you decide though. And definitely post up some pics when you get 'em installed.
