The h&r limited springs are still $99, that's pretty cheap.

Are the sleaves broken? Why do it twice get these: http://www.jegs.com/p/QA1/QA1-Powdercoa ... 9/10002/-1

Measure the broken e-bay springs and add an inch to the measurement that should stop the bottoming out.

I just put the H&Rs on the '01 ACR, and really like the ride. Way better than the Eibach Pros, imo. Drop was about an inch for now - I expect another 1/4-3/8" drop as they settle.

$125.47 shipped to NickKo's door :thumbup:

Plus, they're bright yellow, and we all know that yellow adds HP. So, yellow x 4 = moar HP...Yay! :rofl:

Seriously, the H&R springs are pretty decent for the price - half what the Eibachs cost, and a better ride (imo).
