Default H&R Coilovers. Are they actually low ?

I'm in the market for coilovers.

H&R website advise they have a 2" travel ? Is this enough to slam the car agressively ?

I would say no, It might be enough to fill the gaps between the tire and the fender, but it won't make your chasis sit two inches of the ground.

you can slam the front on the h&r coilovers, but not the rear. it gets rid of most of the fender gap, i have something like 1/4 to 1/2 inch rear gap as low as they will go. i guess you can still do the spring mount mod and get rid of another 1/4 inch or so. the front can go pretty low though, i'm tucking a bit in the front and still have about 1/2" left... imma raise the front this weekend a little, to low for my taste...

btw, i know h&r says they have a nice ride to them, just keep in mind that the ride degrades as time passes. when i just installed mine, it was just marginally worse than stock. now its kind of a big difference, its been about 6 months or so... imma be switching over to bilstein's sometime in the spring cause i want something more comfortable

You will definitely need a rear kit. Yeah it will be a big improvement from your gf 210's

This is my car. Front is lowered to about 1/2 it's total travel and the rear is about 3/4th's it's total travel. You could always just modify the rear spring mount and go even lower.





I once lowered it all the way and could not drive the car. The front was waaaay too low and the rear would tuck the tire a good amount.
