H&R springs fitted, before and after pics

[666devil]

Hi, got my H&R springs fitted to my 451 the other day, much better handling, and looks much better lowered with my 17" alloys.
Posted before and after pics for your opinions.

Sorry i dont agree, i think it looks just right, but all opinions very welcome
I presume H&R made the springs 15mm at the front and 35mm at the rear
to compensate for the higher rear of the car, so therefore evening it out.
Also i didnt fancy just fitting lower and stiffer springs to the rear and leaving the fronts stock, its probably OK but i didnt fancy it.
Plus the car is facing the way my driveway slopes downwards, so that might not help. Perhaps i should of took the pics on level ground i just didnt think about it.

Well mine is lowered in only the rear and on level grond the car is completly level, now if you measure from the ground to the wheel opening they are the same front and rear now.

Looks good... If I ever get a chance to lower mine I'll do the front and rear too... If I only lowered the rear I wouldn't be able to see our the rear window...

OK, turn the car around and take another pic.

just to see,

I think it looks good!

Looks very nice, but for my own personal car (which I drive daily on our lousy northeast roads), I wouldn't want to reduce the suspension travel or the tire sidewall height any more than it already is from the factory.

We have some pretty bad roads here too, the snow and frost break them all up.
I put Eiebach springs on and actually like the ride better. even on the big bumps. it doesn't bottom out as quick.

It looks nice to me. I actually like how a slight rake looks on cars
