H&R Race Springs

In an attempt to stiffen up the suspension a little bit and modify the ride height just slightly, I’ve installed a set of H&R Race Springs to replace the H&R Sport Springs I had been using. The ride height did change, albeit just slightly (1/2″ or so). However, the ride quality and handling changed dramatically with these springs. While I can’t say the ride was negatively affected in my case, your opinion may vary depending on what you expect out of a performance suspension setup.

H&R is not joking around when they state these are Race springs. According to how the suspension handles in comparison to the sports springs I had previously, I’d say the ride stiffened up about 50% more. You can feel everything on the road with these and cornering was greatly improved while nosedive was also reduced over the previous setup. Comfort-wise, there are sacrifices to be made with these, however. The ride itself is stiffer than some people would consider comfortable which could potentially make people tired and fatigued. It’s not a setup for everyone, that’s for sure. That being said, I am enjoying them a lot.
