H&R Spring Questions.

Yeah , another H&R Spring question..
I searched a bit before posting this so no flames plz~


I remember seeing people posting how H&R drops 1.2~1.3 inches all around so I was looking around to purchase that particular spring from H&R but I don't think I can locate any for MCS.. I have contacted tirerack and have been confirmed that the H&R spring on their site will drop 0.6 inch only.

So where do I get the springs from?

Is it OK to use Cooper H&R springs on MCS?

I have H&R springs on my 02 MCS. I love the look. The car is not quite slammend but a good look.

I dont remember the overall drop on mine but it was enough so you dont see the upper portion of the wheel well any longer. I purchased mine for Helix.
If you go with springs of any make sure you get the rear lower control arms. This will allow the tires to be adjusted so they ride correctly. I ruinded two tires on the rear pretty quickly after putting on the springs. I went with the Eibach camber kit. Helix also has a set as well.

Look in my gallery and you can see the car lowered using the above setup.

I have H & R Spring installed on my MCS about 1" drop and thinking of replacing them with stock... Reason ??? I had the Orciary body kit and its too close to the ground that I had to slow down on every pump and carefully park to avoid damaging underneath. I am willing to sell them at very low cost or best offer. I hardly drove the car except when my son comes home fron Boston. Of course plus shipping but if you're in Hawaii I am willing install them for you. ...

You can get the ones you're looking for from Helix (a site sponsor).
