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!

Hey Guys, sorry this wasn't my thread so I wasn't subscribed to it, so I just saw these posts now. Anyways, if you are still curious:
1) plenty of front caliper clearance - 5/8" minimum from inner spoke to caliper, even more between caliper and inner rim face.
2) Previous owner had issues with rear camber (tires wore down on inside after only 4000 miles) and ditched the H&R springs, went to VAP springs. Still using those today, no problems with abnormal tire wear now. I did have to cut the front spring to get the front to drop an additional 1/2 inch so it has equal space between tire and wheel well front to back.
3) Previous owner tells me HRE did get too aggressive with offset and there was minor rubbing with this setup, so they shaved the hub a couple MM and now it is perfect. I have never heard or seen evidence of a rub.
4) Current tires are PS4S's, 295/30/20 rear and 265/30/20 front. Probably could have gone with 275/30/20's in front, but can't say for sure. Was told 305's in the rear rubbed with this setup.
