Finished lowering the car tonight and it dropped it about 1" front and rear. The fronts are set to the lowest setting and the rears are approximately set in the middle. I still have to fine tune the ride height once my new wheels arrive. In hindsight, I should have just gotten the sport springs and called it a day. These adjustable springs are a PITA and every time you want to adjust the height you have to practically undo everything to access the adjustable perch. They ride OK but I would not recommend these. Save yourself a lot of cussing and get this tool to spread the strut clamp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YF7QU7G...p_mob_ap_share and just get the sport springs. I didn't use the provided bump stops for the rear shocks because it would required messing with the MRC wiring just to get them on which I was not going to do.
Hey everyone, I just got the H&R VTF adjustable lowering springs from tirerack that I’ll be installing today and had some questions maybe some of you can help me with:
1. Does the front OEM struts even have bump stops installed? The ones supplied with this kit don’t look wide enough to go on front struts.
2. Anyone know what the torque specs are for the RS3 suspension compenents?
3. Do the height sensors need adjusting when lowering the car and if so, how is that done?
4. Anyone else try these? If so, what are your thoughts on them?
Thanks in advance for the constructive input. Pics to follow.
It doesn't help that the instructions appear to be for another kit and not this one based on part numbers.
