FS: H&R Lowering Springs

I've got a set of gently used H&R lowering springs if anyone is interested. $175 shipped

I can take a picture if necessary, but here is the link to a new set

They've got maybe 3,000 miles on them.

Were you able to the get the camber within factory specs with the springs or does it need control arms?

Thanks

Rear camber was brought back to stock specs. The front can't be adjusted but it's only a 1.1" drop. A little camber is good for handling anyway

I got them as a temporary solution while waiting for coilovers. They're a good value for what they give you if you aren't interested in getting a full on set of coilovers.

Yes

I didn't have any problems with them. I'm not sure what kind of binding could have happened honestly.
