Who sells the H&R springs?

I checked all the supporting vendors and none have them. I have 16" wheels to mate with some H&R's?

I got mine from Dan at Smartune. He was excellent to work with, and you met him at Infineon, if you remember.

The ride quality did not change significantly and I would say the handling was marginally better. I frankly wasn't blown away. What blew me away was when I put on new tires/wheels. That was the best mod I every made.

As for the H&R springs, some have advocated just putting on the rears, but I put the fronts and the rears on. I find I get "high beamed" a lot now. I need to break down and adjust my headlights....

Too many tasks, not enough time.

Best,

it is easy, take off the front "hood", right at the top of each headlight is a small white adjuster, use an allen wrench to raise or lower the beam.

I parked about 50 feet from a wall on a flat surface, put some black tape on the wall at the same height as the center of the headlight, then turned the adjuster until the beam was where I wanted it. I put the center of the beam about an inch below the tape mark and have been happy.

Thanks! The reason I've been putting it off is because I've been too lazy to research how it is done. As you've described, it should be a 10 minute job.
