H&R or RDSport

From your experiences, which one rides better or closer to stock and can you really tell the difference between the 2 drops? Thanks in advance. Feel free to post pics of your drops.

I just had hr sport springs installed when I had my supercharger done. When it came back I completely forgot about the springs. I drove a good 120 miles why and 15 country roads before I got home. I honestly didn't realize I had the hr springs in there until I was unloading the stock parts that were taken off the car from the trunk. I saw the spring box and still checked inside to see if the stickers were in there. I felt that it rode so close to stock I didn't even know it and I was even in m mode with the EDC set at the highest. When I drove the next day in the softest setting ride difference was really un noticeable to me. Car sits really nice now though I couldn't be happier! Thats My experience with hr. Don't know about rd, when I was researching seemed more people liked the hr so I went that route.

Haven't had time to take pics but I will when i get back from vacation.

Thanks man.

No experience with the RDs but I do have the H&Rs. I think the only time you'll notice a difference from stock is going over a bump. They are definitely a bit stiffer than stock.

I just had the Dinan Stage 2 suspension installed very nice drop, and the car handles much better Zero body roll, and very very compliant in the turns no "bumpiness" at all/. I would highly recommend them

I've experienced both and would say that the RD Sports ride better than the HNR's.

I have RD Sport and think they work well. A little stiffer than stock, but not that noticeable.

gatoraviator · 11-26-2010, 07:22 PM

Do I need to get front/rear cambers or toe arms for this kind of drop?

You'll be fine without them.

Well I don't have zcp like u. Also, how are RDs more aggressive than HNR? Both springs lower the car the same in the front and .1 more in rear for RD...just don't see it. Thanks.

Hey man, I know I said RD, but I changed my mind last minute and got H&R. I ordered them from Supreme Power when I got my VRS trunk. Hope that helps.
