H & R Sport Springs
Has anybody replaced thier stock springs with the H & R's? I really like the look of the car being lowered a bit, but I'm unsure if/how this will change the ride quality...will it be too harsh? I currently have 19" wheels on for the summer and there is just a little too much of a gap in the wheel well for my liking. If anybody has run this set-up, or has any other suggestions, I'd really appreciate the input. Thanks

Although I can't tell you at the moment, I can tell you I have a set and I am trying to find the time to put them on. Once I do, I can share pics and my opinions. I have the 20's with my current set up.

Definitely like that look! Can anybody compare the driving experience to a non-sport suspension? Also, when I trade the car in, will the H&R Springs decrease the value...or will the dealer even know? I've heard certain mods hurt the resale value?

The stance is awesome though. Somebody asked me what was different about my car. When I mentioned the suspension they said that was it. I closed up that gap between the wheel well and tire to make it look more aggressive. It looks factory. I think I might buy some spacers for my summer set up as my winter spacers will not work I guess. I think the drop tucks in the wheels a little more than I personally like.

Thought I would add these for anyone new or anyone on the fence about aftermarket springs on their C7. First pic was when I got her. Second pic was a few minutes ago.
100 miles on them and still so far so good. Even though it was not a huge drop, I know there are there at times. For the most part cruisinig is just fine. It is quick bumps like driveway curbs where you feel it.
I would reccomend these for an inexpensive mod. If you like to mod in the first place, you will enjoy these springs. This was my first drop of any of my cars. If you don't mod or are on the fence about suspension changes, I might advise against it.

I've been considering lowering my car too, especially with the wheels now. I'm between the H&R springs, the Stasis springs and the H&R coilovers. My concern with the H&R springs is that it will be more prone to bottoming out on the bump stops. Have you guys noticed that at all? I know Stasis provides shorter bump stops to cure this.

It's the H&R Race ones that are too stiff for DD, imho. I'm also considering this mod...
