    R8 with H&R springs and OEM wheels

    Can anyone post some pics of R8 V8 with H&R springs and 19inch OEM wheels?

    I am not sure if I should install H&R springs because it could be too low afterwards. I would like to see who it looks like. Any clearance issues after lowering the car compared to oem setup?

    Thanks a lot for your pics and help!

    Re: R8 with H&R springs and OEM wheels

    Lived with HR Springs on my last V8 coupe for 18 months and loved them.

    They sometimes present some caution on driveways at the front,but if you use commonsense you are fine.

    They make the car sit better without little if any compromise in ride quality.They have the added benefit of sharpening up the handling.

    No tyre rubs on turns or bumps in the road

    Drop is about 1.5 inch at the back and 0.5 front

    Have ordered a set for my new V10 coupe..so I can endorse.

    Not OEM wheels, but they are 19" wheels. I have no clearance issues.

    There shouldn't be any clearance issues with H&R springs whatsoever unless you buy aftermarket wheels with a very aggressive offset. This has all been covered elsewhere in this forum. There is nothing that you can do to improve the car's appearance for the money like lowering it, IMO! To the O.P.: what are you waiting for?
