H&R SS ride height specs?? SAGGING?

1fast03pony · Sep 29, 2005

After i installed the rear shock tower brace (welded) and the front strut brace, the car feels and appears to sit lower in the back and higher in the front. the frotn brace was installed while the car was elevated, and the load was not on the suspension. also, the rear was welded and I suspect maybe the heat could have caused the rear springs to compress and stay that way?? (I was sitting in the trunk while welding, so there was weight on the back)

I have H&R super sport springs, polyurathane front spring isolators. r\Ride height in the back, measured from the ground, to the top of the arc in the fender (right above the tire) is 27 inches

The front ride height measured from the ground to the top of the fender arc is 26.5 inches.

Thoughts? does this sound right?

Or is it all psychological

The front gap seems to have gotten wider

What are some of your measurements, if you have HR SS springs?

Don't know about the tower braces and such, but the H&R SS's should sit lower in the front regardless. H&R is made for the raked look, your front should be lower than the rear, and it should be noticeable. They advertise them as sitting 1.75" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. Like I said not sure if this was effected by the shock towers, but it seems like something is off.

bump again

does anyone have any measurements of their H&R SS setup with Prothane isolators (wheel gap measurements)

any replies are appreciated at this point

I have the urethan isolators with my H&R SS. I definitely have a racked look. My front gap is only about an inch and the rear is about 2 inches. Are your "pigtails" still pointing in the right direction in the rear?
