H&R All the way from Germany!!!

[25Plus]

I think that the car is lowered more than 3 cm with the H&R springs. My car dealer suggested H&R, too.

But if I lower my Space Star, I will buy the Eibach Pro-Kit, like in my Daihatsu. The Eibach springs have a progressive spring rate (unfortunately only in the back for the Space Star) and offer quite much comfort. I drove over a 12 cm kerbstone with my Daihatsu at a speed of 50 kph which killed two steel-rims. But after more than 160000 additionally kilometers the suspension is still fine. The quality of the springs really convinced me after 250000 kilometers in total.

One goal of lowering the car for me is the improved fuel economy .

That does look purposeful.

Tighter springs with stock soft shocks doesn't sound like a workable combo to me...

Just replaced my stock spring to H&R. So far doesn't interfere with the shocks. No negative impact on handling due to soft stock shocks.

Great photo. Thanks for posting it.

"I am bouncing down the freeway, bouncing down the street, bouncing over railroad tracks, bouncing even after I get out of the car. LOL"

I get it! Also, that is why my neck has hurt me ever since I drove this car for a 5-6 hour trip 9 days ago. Just as bad, if not worse than riding my Sportster.


"I am trying to find anyway to stiffen up my mirage, the bouncing has a very close to uncontrollable feeling at freeway speeds. Add that to the ridiculous body roll and it gets hairy at times"

I agree completely!

I think I will start by cross referencing the shocks we have and see what we can use in their place!

Any luck? I know when I had a Nissan Hardbody I wanted to lower, the community said Ford Pinto shocks were almost a bolt-in replacement for the front (had to replace the bushing) and it was shorter and had a built-in bump-stop.
