I just installed H&R 965 turbo springs on the front. Does it look a little too low? I went for a little test ride and it rode better than the original springs. Now I just need to put the 2 rear springs on.

Looks too low only because rears arent installed yet from the photo!

What struts are you using?

My Bilsteinns arrived just 10 minutes ago via UPS, so I had to remove from packaging and photo! LOL! Notice one of the collars is blackplastic/nylon and one is metal:

I cheated and installed on stock struts to see what it looked like. Only took 1 hour to complete

Ronnie, do your H&R springs fit on the REAR stock struts?

Thanks Even though it was a bit of a hassle having to replace the springs again, it was nice to be ablel to do a direct comparison of the two types.

The dampers are yellow Koni sports dampers, 8641-1365Sport (front) and 8241-1122Sport (rear).

Cheers,

JW

Howard
they are supposed to, but I don't have a spring compresser laying at the house. I have not had time to run to my brother house to get his

Just for the record, as unlikely as it is that someone else might need to know...these 993TT springs (29 598 VA and 29 598 HA ) DID NOT work on my '89 C4. The rears lowered the rear of the car way too much on the Bilstein HD struts.
