Matching sports spring with stock absorbers ...appreciate feedback

[marv3]

Hi Sifus,

I am new to the car mod scene. So any advise and feedback is greatly appreciated.

I am actually planning to lower my car. Im driving a 408T. I manage to find a lowering sport springs that can fit my car. It is call H&R.

My question is:

Is this brand good?
How is the spring rate? Very hard?
Will is spoil my shocks? Coz i read earlier that if the springs is not too hard, it is still ok to the shocks.

You feedbacks and advise are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I think it should be fine. H&R is a world famous suspension brand, just like Eibach. Many Euro cars sport springs are made by this brand.

HWL for comfort, GAB slightly hard, no comment on zerone.

KYB RS is sport shocks non adjustable.

It will be stiffer. Depends on your tolerance, you may or may not like it. H&R/Eibach is best if paired with Bilstein B8 absorbers.

i think maybe 17'.

If u are prepared for super hard ride and higher tyre cost then got for it.
With 17 rim u will have lower profile rubber which will makes the ride a but harder. Then the adjustable which is always harder than stock will makes it even harder.

If u dont mind it then go for it. Depending on your choice of rims, your can can look super cool and a bit underpower if u opt for cheap rim as they are heavier.

if eibach spring can masuk 2jari n comfortability acceptable for me because my accord n f30 use eibach..h&r 1 jari n stiffer..bcause h&r spring shorter..but theres some people complained bout h&r..they said sometimes they heard the spring like tendang when corner..

Spring tendang means it moves or spins on its mount.
I exp it before but with stock spring and absorber.
Solve it by removing the absorber, clean the mount bot on the top mount and absorber, clean the spring where it will sit on the absorber. Reinstall back.
Do not use lubrication fluid as it will make ting worse.

i know bro..but this is not the case that the spring masuk x ngam..it happens because of the spring is too short..if the spring masuk xngam it happens a lot to those who just changed their ori spring to sport..dat one because the pomen from hugo klang shop pasang..they usually follow their heart oni when pasang barang..

Hi all,

Thank you for your feedback and advise on the H&R. I think im ok with it being stiffer. But my concern is that it is too short to the extend that it expedite the reduction of the absorber's life. I understand no matter what springs, once you change springs, the absorbers life will be reduce. I just dont want it to reduce so fast. Hahahaha. So thats why i asked if H&R will match my car's stock absorber or not? =)

But now im abit concern coz of the spring tendang issue....Hmmmmmm

Nope. H&R Springs are shorter than stock so your car will be lowered. It'll probably half the lifespan of your stock absorbers.

Suggest you look up Koni + Eibach Prokit as well. Koni has a pretty interesting valve system in their shocks
