Those who actually have H&R springs and Bilsteins haven't reported increased inner tread wear.

Also, from whom did you learn of binding H&R coils?

Default Every picture ever posted here shows coil binding.....>>>

Not a good design IMO. Besides, it's taken them (3) generations of springs to get the rears right. Suspension drop is more significant with H&R's. Camber up to -3.5 has been reported. This will absolutely require $3-400 more to install a kit....

Call a reputable tire alignment specialist and ask if you can run 4 degrees w/out getting the wear.

Default Ok - were talking springs not coilovers - so Eibach vs. H&R will be different in several respects

First - Eibach springs are softer than H&R Sports
Second - Eibach springs will lower the rear of you car more than H&R's will - in fact - the H&R's lower the car the same front and rear which results in keeping the slight factory rake of the car. The Eibach's and Neuspeeds will lower the back slightly more which eliminates this rake.
Third - both springs will lower the car slightly more with stock shocks vs. gas charged shocks such as Bilsteins.

Rear camber issues are more prevalent on Roadsters than Coupes and really shouldn't be much of a problem with any lowering spring aside from coilovers.

Why are you always so damn antagonistic? Are you 18 or something? Jeez.

Default Your passive aggressive perception skewed my statement as antagonistic. Read the post from an

objective stance. Ask yourself if it answers the question. Look for any signs of hostility. When none are found, address your own issues. There is nothing hostile about that post, man. Just answering your question.

I think I speak for most everyone here when I say you wouldn't be missed if you left the forum.

The people who speak for the majority are often the real problem. :-)
