Who has H&R springs?

Does anyone have the H&R sport, or race springs installed? I am going to go with H&R, but want to see pics of the difference in wheel well gap. Also what the camber difference is, I am on a budget, so most likely I will be getting the sport springs. I can get them for the same price $150 sport or race from Kingmotorsports.com.

I started checking pics in the members rides and I have seen the H&R sport springs on a 7th gen, but would still like to see the race springs installed. I am going to be getting 18's with 225/35R tires as soon as I have a spring choice and installed.

Yeah, I'd also like to see the differences. I hear H&R race springs are a 2.3F and 1.75R Seems a little strange.

what i have hear is the h&r sport on the sedan was the back sits lower than the front..
but that did not occur to the coupe cause i have use them before..and the front is lower.
and i have an lx.. it was a 2 finger gap in the front and i think it was 3 in the back...but i have 14"
if you want something all around..get neuspeed.. i have neuspeed race on my coupe..
1 finger gap in the front and 2 in the back.

WTF? Uh have you ever tried crack? Have you actually measured this yourself? H&R's are not like cheap fake ****, it might be your cheap fake struts? Anyway sport springs are only 20-30% stiffer and race springs are 50-100% stiffer than stock.

Also Mitch: 225s may be a little fat. Maybe the 35 will save you, I'm not sure. I have 215/45 and was rubbing. The H&Rs will drop it down pretty good in the back, not sure 225s will work.

Well, when you have them installed you should post pictures of the before and after on the sport vs. race H&R springs.
