That's just it though...most people want more negative camber after installing lowering springs.

The max I could get in back (with stock wheels & sized tires) was -1.3 degrees. My Megan rear lower arms helped with getting the adjuster lobes back to a neutral position.

I got mine to -1.2, which is still in spec, but maxed out. Your way is the way to go though.

They ride fine, like any other car I've had with lowering springs. No rubbing, they seem to be holding up fine. I got them because there was no good information on them any where. So I decided to be the guinea pig and give them a shot. To each there own, but for $100 you can't go wrong.

My H&R's are nice and firm at the limit, and their instructions tell you to NOT cut the bump stops.
So true, I'm surprised anyone still buys their products. They're soft and saggy on all cars/applications from my experience.

I bought them through streetsideauto.com. They price matched a set I found on eBay for $100 and I think it was like $30 for shipping.
