How do you like the H&R coilovers and any rubbing with that setup / are your fenders rolled?

Ride quality isnt the best, but no rubbing and no rolled fenders.

**motap** · 11-11-2010 07:08 AM

Really? I had heard they rode pretty similar to stock. Are they bouncy? How's the handling?

**sobz** · 11-11-2010 08:48 AM

I have had h&r coilovers on my last three cars and they are no where near a stock ride. Handling is great but you feel every bump.

**theKB** · 11-12-2010 05:23 PM

@sobz

how much left do you have on that coilover?

I am debating between the H&R setup or KW V3's... I know they are apples vs. oranges in terms of adjustment-wise etc and have the same drop... just not sure what kind of dough I want to spend at the outset...

This is the closest picture I have of our Anthracite finish to what you're looking for

I believe they were a 265-30-20 but the customer supplied the tires so I don't know exactly what brand they were, IIRC he had slight rubbing.

**rolsmi1** · 11-17-2010 09:54 AM

Skyler, what suspension is on the white S4 w/ Hartman 19 x 8.5 209's?

I'm not sure as he did not purchase suspension through us, just guessing from the ride height that it may be H&R OE Sport Springs though.

is this a typo? the fronts are 19x9.5 et35 with 255s? if so the drop will be tuff (to be rub free)

Not the best but hey....

**Esoteric** · 11-24-2010 01:53 PM

^^^^ Joe, you've made my day. Your car looks great.

For clarity, which H&R springs are you using. I assume it's the OE's, but your front looks really low, so I'm wondering if it's the super sports. In any case, I love the gunmetal tri's. I think I may do the same thing. Are they powdercoated?

**richib86** · 11-24-2010 03:58 PM

BBS CH-R 19x8.5 et 40. tires are 255/35/19. KW V3's

**Voltrons_Head** · 11-27-2010 08:42 AM

@Richi - Which spacers are you running?

**richib86** · 11-27-2010 09:27 AM

no spacers at the moment. i may end up running a 3 mm all around tho or a 3mm front 5mm rear

I'm using the HR Sports, love em but they rub a bit... Stock 19"s Powder coated

I'm guessing they rub up front on the fender liner clips. Gotta remove those clips and roll the fenders for a rub-free ride once lowered.

**2010S4** · 12-01-2010 01:49 PM

This may be a stupid question. But what does it mean to roll the fenders? I am about to drop my car, and if I experience any rubbing I want to be able to take care of the problem.

Just like it sounds... the inner fender lip is "rolled" back nice and flat. Feel inside your front fenders and you'll see that they are quite intrusive, with the clip that holds the liner in place being the worst offender. Once that clip is removed and the fender is rolled flat, the liner will be held in place by the fender.

PSS10's
The PSS10's:

Fronts out

The dial is a huge improvement over the PSS9's

The fronts are in (just about)

Front of car after we dropped the car off the lift (definitely too low)

Before rear (sorry pretty bad shots)

After rear (sorry pretty bad shots)

Before fronts

After fronts

After a few miles the car settled and we had to adjust it a few times to get it right, I experienced some rubbing with 3 in the car so we raised it and took the front wheel liner bolt off.

After shot with final adjustments and Menzerna Power Lock

BBS LM-R's (summer)

Black Caps look much better.
