Woohoo! Car handles like its on RAILS!

My gf got me H&R sport springs for our 3 year anniversary, w00t! Finally got rid of that big gap in the front, perfect now. The rear however is like stock factory sport.

When it originally came off the lift, it was HIGH...like non-sport height. Then as we went for the test drive and put some load on the rear suspension, it settled down to factory sport height. I'm hoping it will settle further after a couple of days and drop it a little more.

Here are some pics I took in my garage:

Those who installed H&Rs sports, did the rear settle some more after a few days?

With the 18s, the rear was perfect height, slight gap like the front.

The rears I'll have to keep an eye on. __________________ 2005 1.8TQM6 Moro Blue \| Platinum \|\| Premium \| Sport \| Lighting \| Cold \| Bose Mods: GIAC K04 \| Magnaflow \| Koni Sport \| H&R Sport \| H-Sports \| RaceTec FMIC \| S4 Rear \| USP Front \| S4 Blades \| VMR 708s \| HP2s \| Xenonmatch \| CF Trim \| RS4 Pedals \| RNS-E \| AMS SS \| APR Snub \| Other Goodies Current Mileage: 120,xxx mi Recent Car Details

With the 18s, the rear was perfect height, slight gap like the front. __________________ 2005 1.8TQM6 Moro Blue \| Platinum \|\| Premium \| Sport \| Lighting \| Cold \| Bose Mods: GIAC K04 \| Magnaflow \| Koni Sport \| H&R Sport \| H-Sports \| RaceTec FMIC \| S4 Rear \| USP Front \| S4 Blades \| VMR 708s \| HP2s \| Xenonmatch \| CF Trim \| RS4 Pedals \| RNS-E \| AMS SS \| APR Snub \| Other Goodies Current Mileage: 120,xxx mi Recent Car Details
