H&R VS. Spoon FL5 specific springs

[Miami_TypeR]

While I discourage springs generally, Swift are some of the best quality in the business. Doesn't mean they will work well in an application or anything but theirs test very well (ie, they are what they say they are).

How come you discourage springs?

Because they eat into the available suspension travel.

Installed the H&R springs this past weekend. H&R does not recommend cutting the bump stops which I like.
Car handles and feels essentially the same. No strange noises or strange suspension behaviors.
Drop is about 3/4” at front and a little less than 1/2” rear. Can still negotiate driveways without scraping. Car sits near perfect and with a little settling should be perfect for my daily driver requirements.

Have you noticed any bottoming out since the bump stops weren't trimmed?

Looks great! that is exactly what I ordered too. Any rubbing with that setup?

I was a little worried with the 38 offset and rubbing.
