Help lowering HR sports
Hello,
I would like to HR Sport springs and rims 19 ". But I would like to know how high the ground is the front of the car with this combination because I would not be too demeaning and roads here are very bad. Thank you for your help. ps: sorry for my English |

The front bumper sits approximately 3-4 inches above ground with the H&R sports. The 19 inch wheel shouldn't make a difference as you would pick a lower profile tire so that overall diameter is unchanged. Definitely not 4 inches, a little over 3 inches.

However I know that when having OEM 17 wheels you change into 18 or 19 with the exact tire size adjustment -even though the diameter changes a little bit.
Not much but still...

The tires size is ok.
However when you will compane the height of 17 and 19 there will be small difference. It is normal.

Anytime you lower the car, there are inherent problems that you have to deal with..You must drive the car a totally different way...There really is no way around it...I have contemplating for a while to drop my car for handling and visual appeal...I love the way it handles and it looks awesome...I drive my car very carefully for road hazzards such as bumps on roads and steep driveways.

I doubt that you will get lower than 10cm from the front bumper ( m-sport ) to the soil on 19 with lowering springs only.
I am talking about measuring in the middle of front bumper.

With very bad roads like you said, I wouldn't even lower the car as the ride can get unbearable (too stiff)
