Great write up and pics. :thumbsup: Would like to see more pics illustrating effects of lowering. Is body roll reduced in turns? Also, did you happen to measure ride height before and after? Did you go with ride height settings right out of the box or did you make adjustments?
 
There is a huge improvement on body roll the car feels very flat when cornering no matter if i turn into the corner and accerlate around or just throw the car into the corner at speed it just sticks to floor and doesn't seem to be no body roll whatso ever. Im going to try and take some more pics today as i got carried away chatting to the chap installing them for me. I never even checked what H&R recommend to adjust the height at i just left that to him to setup but im going to wait a few weeks and let the suspension settle then adjust them again as i never measured the ride heights.
 
I decided to go out for a drive today and takes some better pics on a quiet road.

I know this is offtopic but on the way home i spotted this and had to get out and have a look and as i had my camera i thought it would be rude not sure share. Im still wondering what on earth was the person doing and if you look at the 1st pic towards the bottom right handside that muddy patch was where the harvester sign was bolted into the ground.

It is low but i love the look so far it hasn't caused me any issues i will see in a couple of weeks before i go to get in aligned if im still happy ill leave it as it is.
 
HOLY crap that accident??? f**k, looks horrible!!!

Damn that is LOW erol!! you MAY eed to lift it slightly as it'll settle around another 5-10mm..... i wouldnt make it down my driveway...... maybe consider lifting her "slightly", you may get alittle rubbing on the inner arch liner @ this height on full compression.

Wow! Now that looks great!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: The additional pics really illustrate the change in ride height. I love the look! dubseed's car is really low on H&R coils and he says he has no rubbing.
 
I think it looks great at this height but i think i might raise the car a little ive had no issues with rubbing at all but after a full day of driving around it is a bit of a pain when im having to stop and just slowly ease over speed humps.
 
Slight edit to my first review after a few days of driving i have noticed that on poor condition roads the ride is more bumpier than stock not a huge difference but noticeable difference.

Can you not adjust the settings to resolve this? Ride height is definitely a bit low. What are the range of settings and what setting did you adjust the damping to?
 
my coilovers are the h&r montubes you can only adjust the ride the rest are factory set as i drive the car on weekends only i will see how it goes and maybe readjust before i go to get the alignment sorted.
 
For me that's the reason why I would only ever opt for a 3-way adjustable aftermarket suspension. It's the adjustability that makes it all work correctly otherwise you might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. I know this costs more but you get what you pay for.
 
so far im am very happy with the improvements but its only been a few days, time will tell if im 100% happy but will report back as the time goes back.
 
I thought they were adjustable, as I was tempted by these, but definitely want adjuatbility.

Keep the updates coming though we need more of this in here.
