Yep, finished on the podium in my class. Looking forward to racing Yankee Springs this weekend. How about you?

H&R Sport or Super Sport Springs?
Not sure if I missed this but what springs did you use? H&R? If so, did you use the sport or super sport? It looks lower than some others I have seen and like it the way it sits. On H&R, the sport says it drops it 1.5 to 1.8 and the super sport says 1.75-2.3.

Can somebody with these springs please chime in:
Do these springs help with the massive Dive/Squat problem i am experiencing. No, it isn't a factory defect, I understand this is a CUV and not a Sport Car... I'm just not used to it; the "somewhat soft" suspension combined with the "weak" breaks have me braking a little too heavy and late, thus I get a pretty bad nose dive, nothing wrong with the vehicle, its my driving style.

It would. But I also want to lower the car, I just wanted to know if the spring progressiveness helps with the nose dive
I used to have a VW Golf MKV with H&R Sport springs and I don't feel this CUV much worse then that car. I take curves very fast, without even braking and it's still stock everything.
I don't feel anything wrong with the brakes either.
I had a similar feel with my new Golf, it felt like it needed more pressure applied when braking. After 24k miles, I had done a brake fluid flush and the brakes become very good and trustworthy, not like before.
Maybe, you need to bleed the braking system, maybe it wasn't done properly from the factory.
I will lower my car also. but first I need some camber arms. I have the Corksport springs, still in the box.

Coming from a 2013 Mazdaspeed 3 to my CX5 I had to readjust a bit too from late braking. I will say the H&R springs firm up the ride overall and I although I haven't made a mental note of it I'm certain it would reduce nose drive under hard braking.
