Installed H&R springs

[Turbo42]

I installed the H&R springs last tuesday i only put in the rear springs as now the car sits even all the way around. Has anyone else only lowered the rear with H&R springs. I did not lower the front bc it would sit like it was factory lower in the front higher in the rear. With just the rear lowered the car sits flat and even looks great i will post pictures later brought the back down an inch and a half

I would like to see pics cause i want to lower my smart when i get it. I noticed only H&R and Eibach have springs.

The H&R are a lot better than the eibach

eibach to soft of a spring feel every bump and u dont even get an inch of drop

H&R better ride quality than stock and gives u a great drop

Pictures please!

This will be my next purchase and ride quality is my main concern but I've also wondered if the Eibach's lower it enough. I've used H & R's in the past and was very pleased with the drop and the ride. Thanks!

Be careful, stiffer rear springs with soft fronts could make the car oversteer, or like NASCAR people say "loose".
I know people say it has a lot of understeer so using stiffer rears may get the balance closer to neutral or beyond towards oversteer, it may be more than stability control can handle.
I would not recomend you guys try that unless you have autocross, track days, or racing experience.
So Babybenz, what do you think about the handling?

I'll take the other springs off your hand! Just kidding.... but yes, pictures please!

I have Eibach's and it's stiff but not unbareable, I have heard the H&R's are a little bit stiffer and harder ride. I have 17" wheels and that adds to the hardness, still bareable, just need to watch out for potholes.

BTW I like your License plate, it sounds like me with a chinese accent.

THANKS! It's funny to see drivers behind me cracking up when they read it!

I originally requested "MESOBIG", but after waiting 2 months I received a rejection letter from the DMV.
