H&R Lowering Springs???

[AWDRACER6]

Anyone have them? I was told the eibach ones hurt the performance of the speed6. Any info would be appreciated.

[DanSpeed6]

Hurt ?

[AWDRACER6]

Hurt ?

I was told it makes the car kinda sit when u launch.. Not exactly sure what he said.

[msprotege2nr]

I have the H&R's what do you want to know?

[JSpeed 6 JLA]

...H&Rs are the way to go on the speed 6.

[Reyan]

I have the Eibach pro kit never had a problem.

[AWDRACER6]

I wanna know about the springs... Would u recommend them? And how much better/worse does the car handle and launch???

[msprotege2nr]

I would recommend them. There wasn't any loss of ride quality that I noticed. It did rid of a lot of the body roll, and the launches seem a lot better now. The car doesn't really dip when you are on a spirited drive either

Were they easy to install? How much did it drop ur car? And u ran 13.6 with just a motor mount?!?!

[msprotege2nr]

yup that's my best for last season.. hopefully I will have some new times with the new toys I have gotten for the car since that time I went to the track. the install was pretty easy. just need a spring compressor for the front. here's a pic of them installed.

msprotege2nr, are you still on stock struts?

Thanks

[msprotege2nr]

yup

[Igve2shtz]

How much drop did you see with hte H&R's? The front in the pics looks low - not slammed, but low, and it looks AMAZING.

If possible, what distance do you measure from the center of the hub to the fender? I am looking to drop mine as well, and was looking at RPM Street springs, but maybe I will go H&R instead.

[AWDRACER6]

I dont mean to hate on EIbach at all cause i dont know personally. But i was told that they were not good. So are there any other people with them to put there input in about them?

And do u guys with H&Rs scrape alot??

[msprotege2nr]

I don't have any issues scraping....

[AWDRACER6]

I don't have any issues scraping....

Thats good. The old nissan scraped on a rock! Have u ran ur car with the springs? Does it launch any better??

[msprotege2nr]

ya, I believe it launches better

[AWDRACER6]

Did ur time go down any??

[Rican219]

The Eibachs were not designed for the MS6 the H&R's are that is the difference.

[msprotege2nr]

my 60 foot times were better... my best before the springs was a 1.9... and after was a 1.7... but that could also be because of me getting better with the launches too

I just got my H&R springs on last weekend and I love em !. Stance is almost perfect. I would have liked the back about 1/4 in lower but they may settle still ?. The front is perfect though. ALOT of body roll is gone now,and as far as the ride it feels about the same. When hitting small pot holes it feels a tad stiffer. I'll try to put pics later. but looks the same as the other pics posted.

i just ordered some h&r springs and i was wondering if u guys that have them removed the bump stops when you installed them. or if it was not necessary.

Still have mine on ! I suppose its better to have them then not.

Another note on the H&R's I got an alignment the next day and the front camber is like -1 degree in the front after the springs its almost exactely 2inch drop from stock. The back I had adjusted back to like -1.3 about what the stock was to start with I'd say. The back dropped about 1.5 inches

[macknati]

I received my Eibach Pro Kit about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Good thing I wasn't in a rush to install them. I will definitely be returning them and paying the extra $30 bucks for the H&R. Thats why I love these forums. I've learned so much about my MS6 in the 3 weeks I have owned it. THANKS GUYS!!(drive2)

I have a 2007 M6 I4 ATX, all stock at present.
This thread applies to the MS6. So let me ask the requisite dumb question....

What do you guys think about the H&R's with the 18" MS6 OEM rims (either the older "snowflake" design, or the newer "lotus")? My sense is that this combination would work OK (no rubbing), and the H&R's don't seem to make the ride any/much harder than it is already.

Excellent site, BTW. Well written pieces with gobs of good info.

Thanks for the feedback.
