H&R Race Springs???

[StinkinLincoln]

Anyone else got anymore pics of H&R Race Springs on there ride??

I am. But your last thread irritated me, so that's all the help you'll get from me. Look around. Don't be lazy.


Oh, and Tokico HPs aren't made for a drop that low. They will blow. Replace them with something made to handle that drop.

Agreed. I know first-hand the H&R sport springs are still too aggressive for the Tokico HP shocks. They will last you like 15-20K max.

Im prob going to stick with my AGX's till they blow (they are pretty new) then go Yellows....

Thanks for the help guys!!

Good idea.

The yellows SUCK with the Race springs.

I was looking at those..

anybody use these shocks yet??

I don't understand how the high-end shocks suck, but their entry level shocks are the ones to go with... STR-T are the non-adjustable cheapies from Koni. I believe xaaronx has them, or is getting them soon. Gloryaccordy is also getting them soon.

I have yellows on H&R race, and they're well matched. I suppose when it comes to street driving, it's a matter of opinion. Anything else requires racetrack times to prove how effective a suspension setup is.

Im just trying to find somthing cheeper than yellows that will work with the H&R Race's...I really want to ditch the Eibach Sportlines and Get somthing lower..

If I just buy the Race Springs and Put them on my AGX's how long do you think the would last??

I only drive the car on the weekends on nice roads and it does hit the drag strip from time to time..

I'f i have to save up money for the yellows I probably will just buy the F&F Type 1 Coilovers for around the same price..

IDK Just Thoughts

Yea you will blow STR.Ts in no time.

Really, u have no choice. If u want a decent shock for Race level springs, u have to spend at least $450.

New AGXs - $450.
New Illuminas- $450.
New Bilstien HDs- $450.
New Koni Yellows- $500.

Those are the only 4 shocks that will work with those springs. Everything else will blow over time. Hell, AGXs will blow over time. I'd say 90% of the people I know who've had them had them blow, race springs or not. I think they are just poorly designed.

So it's really 3 shocks. Otherwise, don't even bother with the springs. It will be a waste of time.

I will have some H&R Sports for sale soon.

the yellows are to stiff for the racesprings they cut the drop. My buddy has a set on race springs and they didnt go down much lower than his eibachs.
How do you figure you'll blow the STR.Ts? They are valved specifically for street driven cars lowered 1.25 and lower. Call koni and speak with a rep like I did.

Yellows are not too stiff for the Races. Shocks can never be too stiff for springs. Plus the Neuspeed Cup Kit pairs the two together. If anything the Yellows are valves specifically for the Races.

STR.Ts are valved at what's equivalent to "1/2 a turn from full soft on Koni Yellows". That valving is nowhere near strong enough for the Race spring rates, and is more suited for Tein S-Techs/Neuspeed+HR Sports. Anything more than that, and I'm pretty sure you will end up blowing them.

here's 2" front, 1.5" rear H&R sport springs on stock struts w/ 15" exr rims, working fine for now..not as bad as some people claim in terms of ride quality..but it wont surprise me when one day it goes to shiz
