bilstien/H&R race review
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P>What size tires? I'm running 195-50-15's I can tell you the ride is pretty frikkin harsh Your 13's will deffinately create some cushion not afforded by my low profiles. Perhaps H&R's are a wee bit stiffer/lower. I can just fit two fingers between the tire and the fender well.</P>
<P>I do like the ride, I just feel sorry for my car.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>You must like a Cadillac ride. I have a set of Eibac race springs with large diameter but >short Bilstien struts. I am running them with 185-60-13 tires on my 80 pickup. they lower the front

<DIV></DIV>I'm sitting in front of my computer with a smile on my face and blisters on my ass. The former is a direct result of another session of "lets go sideways in my rocco" The latter was caused by all the potholes, cracks, and pebbles I encountered in route to my favorite parking lot.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The suspension is all poly bushings, Bilstein sport dampers, and H&R race springs AKA ass busters.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The car is very responsive even though I have no upper bar and stock anti roll bars. It's very well balanced with just a touch of under steer unless I tap the brakes going into a turn, the sideways action is quite easily reigned in with counter steering and a healthy dose of throttle.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'm deffinately happy with the setup but I would not advise anyone to go with the race springs on a daily driver.... I know I'm going to be cursing all the way to work tommorow.
