To All H&R Spring owners!!!

I have H&R springs on my car, there dark grey in colour. Are these the sport version or race version. Also, my car sits uneven, driver side has barely one finger gap on the rear and passenger side has a one and three quarter finger gap. Its been 4 and a half months since I got these installed and by now I thought it would sit level. Has anyone FIXED this problem before cause I've heard of other people having the same problem

hey mine is grey and its the sport version,as for the problem u have, its more like a installation problem,i would check the tire presure first and reinstall the rear ones,i have a coupe and u should know a sedan sits lower than a coupe.good luckP.S..make sure the springs r even in lenght[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Mine is also a coupe and my tire pressure is fine. I'll probably check the lengths of the springs and see if they are different. But any other reasons why it would do this?>?

the springs probably haven't set yet. the proper way to install springs is on a lift, so that all the springs stretch and compress evenly... your passanger side springs might have stretched more than the drivier side. the same thing was with my goldline springs. they are now even, after a like 4000 miles. just keep driving around.

good point from roy,when u take out the spring unit from the car,draw a straight line from top to bottom so u can align it b4 u put back on,make sure the bottom of the spring is seated on the perch thats if u hadnt do so.my hr springs did not have a "settle time"its a misconcept to assume a set of springs will/will not settle and if it settled..then its called "sagging"
