H&Rs on the P5
 
how much lower will the P5 sit with H&Rs since the springs were originally made for the reg 3rd gen proteges?

the supension of the P5 and protege are the same the only difference is the P5s are about 80lbs heavier...

the H&Rs have a 1.3 drop front/back

or would the eibach prokits be a better choice, since they are made for the P5

the Eibachs have a 1.4" drop in the front and 1.2" in the back

H&R 's
 
I should be gettin my H&Rs next week and will probably put those on right away and let you know. But im really hoping that the advertised 1.3" drop (give or take) is as low is it goes on the P5 because i dont wont to worry about rubbing (anymore than i am now):squint:

Not that i know much about the P5's (yet), but I can't imagine you'd want it to sit much lower than it is. It's fairly low now, and has a good suspension...get and inch or two lower, you might run into rubbing, hitting the bump stops alot, or having the whell/tire sut inderneath the fender. From my experience with the car so far, I like it's suspension. Maybe just some adjustable struts, and bigger sways...

lol, it's not my car, do what you want with it. I'm just saying the ride'll prolly be quite compromised.
