I just got some H&R suspersport springs installed on my foxbody and noticed that the back sits lower than the front. Is that normal? Does anyone have experience with the springs and know wheter or not they might "settle" more? My combo is Bilistein shocks and struts and MM camber plates. I also have polyurethane front and rear spring isolators if it matters. Thanks!

they will settle more, but if the rear is lower than the front, I would lean toward installation error, check the orientation of the bottom pigtails on all 4 springs to make sure the fronts are set right in the control arm indentations, and the rears are toward the rear with the coil end facing straight off to the drivers side of the car.

My H&R's have a nice rake to them. As far as settling, H&R's are supposed to not settle, they are what they are. Eibachs settle, but H&R's dont.

my h&r's settled almost 1/4" within a week on my 97, that's measured fender height from flat ground.

I remember a maximum motorsporst tech telling me that H&R's are a preset length & that they dont settle, but I might be wrong? Mine always stayed the same height from day 1???

Mine didn't settle, and my car is even. The polyurethane isolators could be causing it because of the thickness.

In my experience isolators and control arm bushings settle/wear, springs do not so much

I think i will wait about a week or two to see if they settle anymore. I will check to make sure they are installed right tommorow.

My car currently sits the exact same height as yours except the rears look like yours in the front and the front looks like yours in the rear Did it take time to settle or did it look the same from day one
