Thread: H&r springs drop vs road magnet

lol @ what this thread turned into..well i'm going to get coilovers..which is what i should've done in the first place..

My thread is finally up and posted. Here's the link on how I raised the rear of my B13 to combat the hyperco stance (and apparently the RM stance as well?):

I only have a few days on this new set-up, but so far I really like it and I have not noticed any problems. Hopefully none show up in the future.

Very cool. I had this idea and i even got the top hats but never got time to implement it and I didn't have it all worked out like you do.

Looks really well thought out. Also can you get some pics up like in late afternoon or morning. Its hard to see the gap with those high noon pictures. I do the same thing all the time too when I'm taking pics.

The Hyperco gen 1s had the worst saggy but problem imo, but the Forester is also notorious for even having it stock. I used shorter tires to help a little but several compaines offer a similar spacer for lifts and visually evening out the drop. Perfectly safe. Usually they are billet aluminum iirc because it won't crack or deflect under load.

Edit: Not directly related to OP's thread, moved to the How To spacer thread.

Would it safe to assume the H&R springs arent any better for the B14 chassis? I got some for cheep, but I havent installed them yet. Its only a daily driver, but I dont want to fuck up the brand new AGX's that will be installed. Should I ditch the H&R's and save up for RM's?

yep dont bother selling them to some poor unsuspecting person lol.. lock them away forevar!

get the rm's you will thank me.

here's my update as to how to help the travel issue with H&R's:

sweet stance


+ taller mounts



=
but i still wanna do another set that are a lil higher for more travel and do another set for the rear or move these ones to the rear.

i only hit the bump stops on huge craters in the street now. car rides smooth.
