I have relatively new H&R springs sitting in a box in my basement.
Read: Paid for. #29-593 F 60mm R 30mm
Maybe 70K miles on them. I took them off when I bought the car.
My currrent springs are for a 323ti which now have ~120K on them.
My Koni adjustables have ~200K miles on them.
I loved how the car handled with the springs and shocks back then.
The car handled too well. Meaning all I had to do is point and shoot and the suspension did the rest.
Low ground clearance and wanting to learn better car control forced me to remove the springs.
After a few years of DEs, I want to upgrade the suspension back.:redspot
The car is a daily driver and sees 4 or 5 weekends of DE events.
I'll have to get something else before next winter due to the low ground clearance.
What are my options?
I have been suggested to go with a GC coil over kit using those springs.
I really would love to get rid of some of the body roll. See photo.
I carry 5 tires, tools and a jack in the trunk to events.
With the H&R springs I can just get my fingers between the fender and the wheel.
Will the extra weight cause any problems?
