Just bought these lowering springs from H&R Suspension. Designed specifically for my car, it's a nice company because they allow you to choose from your awd or non awd vehicle. If you're looking for springs, I would recommend this company. I have heard great reviews.



Lindsay :D

H&R is a legit German suspension brand. They are pretty famous in the Euro-tuning world. The other big German name in suspension is Eibach.

The Japanese have Tein which nearly every JDM fanboy will happily flaunt with their loud stickers on their cars. :lol:

I paid $290 Canadian for mine, shipped to my door.

I have a 2011 FWD, Sport, which already came with a lower ride height than the AWD. I noticed the handling was was definitely better with even less body roll than before and the car response to steering inputs faster. That being said, I also have aftermarket wheels that pushes the wheels out so they sit flush with the body 18X8's upfront and 18X9's at the rears. :D

The AWD springs drop the car more than the FWD but I am assuming that since the FWD Sport already comes lower the overall drop height will be the same after the spring settle.

If I don't find any reasonably priced coilovers by the end of this year, I will be looking at some heftier sway bars to make my driving experience even better.

Specifically one with a measuring tape from the ground to the edge of the fender would be nice!

Measuring from the centre of the wheel to the fender is a better method. (It takes out any differences in tyre sidewall height.)
