Just lowered my car with the H&R springs...

And I don't see much of a difference at all.

Or is it because I'm still on stock wheels? (Gen5)

(Bad angles I know - But still doesnt look like much of a difference at all)

hmmmm i thought mine was the same way cause im on stock wheels as well but then i looked at it next to a stock cam at walmart and notice the drop A LOT... i should be throwing some rims on mine soon and i think that should help you notice it even more as well... also there is a period of time where they are not at the height they should be.. wait a bit for the springs to settle should be another half inch or so more in them

You'll notice the degraded ride quality.....

Appreciate the help, and as always gotta love the useless comments by some people

haha well not all of us can have lexus emblems... but yes you will notice the deteriorated ride quality.... here is what mine looked like after the drop... kepp in mind my sub box is really heavy hence the bit of sag you see

FLiPsta · 07-30-2009, 08:47 PM

Yours look so much lower than mines... ugh x.x I was expecting a little lower but then again the springs might need to adjust and sink in... and yeah I noticed the quality when I hit a bump hahaha

i have had mine in for like 3 weeks now and its only getting worse as they settle lol but i love it none the less

comes with the territory.

I bet if we had a GS350 suspension like a certain somebody we would have a better ride.

What kind of H&R springs did you use and how much did they cost? I want to drop my gen 5 too

CTMike · 07-30-2009, 08:55 PM
