Hey guys, decided to order some H&R SuperSports for the GT since i heard their spring rates are better than the Sportlines and a bit better to launch with. I also want a bit of the raked look and to bring the rear up a bit, so i figured it was time to upgrade. Can those of you with these springs please post pics of your car and ALSO, did ya'll leave all the stock islolators, only remove 1, or keep all of them in up front and in the back?
Another question i have is whether i will have issues running 295's on a 18x10 with these springs and if any of you have 1st hand experience with this? If so, i can use some Poly-urethane isolators for that extra 1/8 of an inch of clearance in the rear just in case. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Mike,
SEMPER FI

Thanks. Did you leave all of the isolators in and how long did it take for the car to fully settle?

I installed Urethane Spring Isolators to try and raise it just a bit because my driveway is on an incline. These springs are GREAT.

Been lapping with them and I was totally impressed. The only negative I've noticed is a lot more rattles because they are so stiff.

I have 18x10's in the back, no rubbing.

Im also running prothane isolators in the front with stockers in the back. Its still pretty raked but not as much as if i used stock all around... I like the stiffness of the prothanes though.

Is yours a vert San? The vert springs drop the front more and leave the car raked. Mine was raked so badly I'd ground out EVERYWHERE. I switched my front springs for Roush springs. I still have the front pair of H&R SS vert springs if anyone wants to buy em (cheap)...

I must confess . For racing purposes I remove my Mach 1000 system out of the trunk along with my spare and very low fuel.

With a full tank of gas, Mach system installed and spare in it's place, car is perfectly level .

I'll throw in a few pics. My car has H&Rs on the rear, and Roush springs on the front because I grounded out everywhere and had a BIG rake with the H&Rs up front. Now its sits low and level.

ive had the SS for a year now, and this weekend im replacing them with the pro-kit. ill let you all in on the diff's i feel, but all i know is that the supersports feel like theyre gonna bend your frame every time you hit a bump.. they do look the best tho.. but its time for me to cruise in comfort
