Default H&R vs Bavairion

I have H&R race springs, too low. looking to raise just a bit.
does anyone know of a good 1.5 to 1.75 drop front, and 1.5 rear
Also looking for good source for sway bars and strut braces, front and rear.

Please sell me your H&R springs when you get new ones.
Thank you

H&R Sports offer about that. Maybe a bit higher. I'm running them with Bilstein sports and really couldn't be happier with the setup.

Running the same setup- it's a little on the stiff side, but not overly so and I'm totally fine with it on my DD. It's a good balance between performance and comfort, IMO, and considerably cheaper than going full coilover.


H&R Race: 2.2" front drop; 1.3" rear

H&R Sport: 1.4" front drop; 1.0" rear


You can make minor adjustments to rear height by swapping spring pads or by installing threaded adjusters (similar to coilover adjusters).
