NEwbie Qs: H&R CO installed

[B7FWD]

Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I have a few questions in regards to the H&R CO which i recently installed. Firstly, the shop which installed for me said they put a 3-4mm spacer on the top of the CO when they install it (sorry for my bad car terms). So the spacer sit between the CO and the car, what does it do? He said if he didnt put the spacer in, he cant install the CO.

Also, how do you adjust the rear height? it seems like the shock absorber and the springs itself are separated and there is no grooves like the fronts.

Thanks all in advance

on my set of COs, the back is adjusted from this metal thing with rings that sit right under the springs..

by moving the rims up and down, the car's height adjusts as well... it's a bitch to adjust since it requires taking out the springs and all

How do you like your H&R C/O's? I'm thinking about getting a set of these before NOPI next summer. How is the ride?

should have gone to another shop. not sure why they would need to add a 'spacer' to have the c/o's installed...?

installer could have put the rear spring perch on the top of the spring, much easier to get to to adjust than if it was installed on the bottom.

Do you know where your installer got the spacer from? I might need something similar for my suspension.

It's low, the ride quality is very similar to stock. depending if you want ride quality or stiffness, i think H&R is very comfortable so not sporty enough. and its very low.
