Yesterday I put on the H&R Supersport Springs (Part #51659). I also added some MaximumMotorsports front spring isolators to raise the front up a bit.

I think it turned out pretty good and it looks like I finally got rid of the "raked" look.

I don't know. I just heard that the front springs drop the car lower than the rear. I was hoping that adding the isolators up front would correct that. They look like it worked because the car is sitting level.

On a side note, I thought my wheels were dirty.

If it would ever quit raining here, my car would be clean. As long as the weather stays bad, my car stays dirty. :)

Is the right front and left front even? Mine are off still the driver side front is lower than the passanger side I had to remove the bottom isolater on the passanger side to even it out more. It's still off a bit.

How did you position your springs in the perches up front?

All 4 corners are pretty even. On the bottom of each spring perch, I positioned the tail of the spring in the exact same place as the factory springs.

Doesn't look like it's raining now! jk :lol1:

That car looks really tough. Man, I wold have figured the MM isolators would have raised it up a little. Is that too low for the Flows? I am getting ready to install some springs and am really concerned about the drop. Looks killer though. :thumbsup:

No the Flows are fine. My catalytic converters are the lowest part of my car.

MM is great to deal with. They have always answered all my questions whether I was buying something or not. Great customer service.

It really looks nice. I personally like a "slight" rake, but yours looks just right. How does it ride now? Any different from before as far as ride comfort?
