Hopefully I'll be able to avoid working this weekend and get them on Saturday. Any "special" tools I need or things to look out for or just a standard spring swap?

nice...those are the H&R SS? I have the H&R race springs on my 03 and love them. I had the SS on my 01 cobra vert and it was a little to low and would bottom out on some roads. They will give your car a good stance.

foncarelli 04-20-2006 04:50 PM

Yo, E. I guess i will drive down to the lone star state, so you can help me put my lower control arms on. I might mess around and let a rear spring jump out and bust me in the head.

Are you sure you want ME to help??? Strange as it may sound, I can more than likely fix any problem on any airplane 10 times faster than I can fix a car. You're probably safer WITHOUT any help from me, unless you happen to own a multi-million dollar bomber that needs some work. :beerchug:

Lances03SVT 04-20-2006 06:35 PM

madmatt 04-20-2006 06:52 PM

Bah, dont listen to fancy lancy, MM says Sports are navy blue, which looks similar to what you have. SS are light blue

I thought I was ordering sports. The Maximum Motorsports page lists:

Sport Navy Blue part number 51650
Super Sport Bright Blue part number 51652.77

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/HRsprings.asp

The MT link for ordering says "Sport Springs", but it list the same drop as Super Sports: Front: 1.75” Rear: 1.6”

The part number on the box and the springs is 51652.77. I'm guessing I got Super Sports???:confused:

Lances03SVT 04-20-2006 07:18 PM

My buddy got the same one's you did.His look's a little bit lower in the front than mine but he still has the stock wheel's on it.

no not bad at all. Make sure they look ok. The stock iso's will give more of a drop then going with some MM urethane ones. I always use the MM ones since they are such high quality and really dont wear out at all meaning you ride height wont change and the less change for noise if and when the stock ones wear out.

jeredan2003 04-20-2006 09:08 PM

I am planning on ordering the H&R SS springs soon. I want the car lowered now, but alot of people say I should wait until I can buy other things like Steeda Ball Joints and a Bump Steer Kit.....

Thats why I havent had mine lowered because it may hurt handling characteristics and it seems like the suspension would be under stress. Is this right? I know that ALOT of guys just put the springs in and forget about it, but is that the right thing to do?

It just depends on how much the springs you choose drop your car. I have the H&R race springs an I did not put on the bump steer kit since the drop was not that much maybe an 1" at the most. But since I am switching to coilovers I will be putting on a bump steer kit, new shorter end links and sway bar bushings.

That is what i did
i got the H&R SS and i got MM caster/camber plates, steeda bumpsteer, and steeda x2 balljoints..i also got tokico illumina 5-way adjustables...if i could go back in time, i wouldve gone with a bullit suspension kit or H&R Sport kit and saved me some cash....oh well, just be prepared to spend a little extra if you go with the Supersports(i spent right around 800 - 900)

madmatt 04-21-2006 03:55 AM

I wish I had done their starter box (Max Motorsports) Comes with bilsteins, supersports, c/c plates, isos, basically EVERYTHING you need to set it and forget it.

And Lance, dont make me sick myfast on your ass...Myfast doesnt get along with "fancy" people...
