New Wheels and Springs Installed
Hey all.
Just wanted to post a quick follow-up. Finally had the new shoes and springs installed yesterday.
HRE P104's in Satin Bronze
H&R Springs with 1.3" drop
The ride quality on the springs feels perfect to me. I have some painted items coming to finish off the exterior and will post the final pictures. Still looking for a good, quality tune.
Cheers!

Absolutely Outstanding!!!
Can you share with us what wheel sizes you ended up with, as well the offsets front and rear?

WOW! Looks great. I have the same car and color and was thinking about the HRE P101s. After seeing yours I think I am leaning toward the P104s. After the 1.3" spring drop and the Front 20mm-Rear 22mm wider stance did you have to have it realligned?
What exterior parts are you painting? Looking forward to seeing final pics.

You did everything right.
An alignment is always necessary after any suspension height change from OEM, which changes the suspension geometry. Some don't do it, but that will likely cause uneven tire wear and possibly compromise handling to some extent.
Yes, the the OEM tire sizes are definitely within approved specs for the extra half inch on your HREs, but many have talked about going to 305s on the rear. I was just wondering if you went that direction. However, 10mm of extra tire width results in a pretty minimal increase in the contact patch.
