HEy,
DO any of you have any experience with the H&R race springs? I want a real low drop, with a huge handling jump, and I know these will give it, Im just curious how the ride is...Is it hell? I know im sacrificing some ride for such a low stiff spring, I just want to know if there is anythign I should look out for.. Thanks guys.

FWIW: IF my typing is all haggard, Im currently experiencing a monster hangover. wow Drinking 4 tall cans of bud in an hour will get you drunk! lol

I have used the H&R race, and they are awesome spring that offer great handling.

You ride won't be slammed, but it will lower it 1.6". The handling is superb.

I have the H&R Super Sports on the '01 vert. Pretty low - looks great - get lots of compliments. However, you really have to watch the high spots in the road. I've hit the k-member hard a few times. You'll probably want to change the struts/shocks too. I put on the Bilstein '00 Cobra Rs. With this combo, ride is tight, but not harsh. Handling - well that's debatable given it went down more than the 1.5" maximum recommendation. I'll defer to the suspension experts on that issue.
