    H&R Avant / RS2 rideheight pics

    Can some members post some side shots showing the Avant / RS2 ride height specifically the rear please?

    I need some comparison shots so I can compare to my car

    Check out Dest's thread, he did before and after on both cars. I seem to remember from the TUV sheets that the S2 and RS2 springs are the same diameter material and have the same number of coils, that would indficate they're the same

        On a coupe running 225/45R17s the HnRs dropped the height to the arch from 660mm approx. to 635mm approx.

            Cheers Dest, for some reason my rears are a lot lower than yours on the H&R springs, I'm seriously considering putting stock springs on all round

              Remember mine had only been on there literally months when those pics were taken, so had not had time to sag or get tired.
              Ive got tons more pics offline, Im having a hunt to see if I can find any close ups of the rears.
              The blue one was on standard shocks if that makes any difference

                    What top mounts are you running front and rear. My rears are low due to promounts jacking the car up ~10mm at the front.

                      Avant's don't have top mounts so to speak, they have a weird rubber mount which I replaced with brand new items ( cheers toS2avant for a freebie from years ago! )

                      On the front is 034 mounts, my car looks like Madpuggers on the rear.

                      I think the springs aren't seated properly

                      @terrybullwon, those springs have been sold on, they were too low for my car use as they were a 40mm drop

                      @Madpugger are you running koni shocks?

                        Koni on the rear, Bilstien (sp?) on the front. Don's ask why different from front and rear, I dunno, but I wish the front were Konis, they came off Raymor's car.

                              Was just intersted in the fronts after my experiences, the rear suspension uses witchcraft
