landark Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just put the front springs on and I am debating about whether or not to put the rears on. They're H-techs and I have 3/8" saggy butt spacers. My concerns are that the H-techs are a lot softer than the stock wagon springs and I don't want to give up a substantial amount of performance for only a slight appearance upgrade. Also, I have 18" winter wheels and tires that will be going on next month and I plan on getting a summer set early next year. So I don't want to rub. Are my fears founded or should I just go ahead and put them on? http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/5319/005ls.jpg http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/9813/004tz.jpg http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3628/003hk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagheeraLGT Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 are you guessing on them being softer or have you looked @ spring rates? Ive got H techs on my exam & the ride is definately harsher than stock. Less body roll, road imperfections are more noticeable (esp. the bad ones). I am a big fan of the raked look, but think u might be better off with the springs & shims installed in the rear. That said, if you like the ride/look as is, then i dont see why you should change. From an outside perspective though, i think it would be smart to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landark Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Well, not a lot of feedback and I got impatient. Thanks to Bagheera for your thoughts. I went ahead and put the rears on. Definitely not a drastic drop which is exactly what I wanted. http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2417/002nmuc.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4046/003on.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
