KYB and H&R lift 2015 OS



Its a terrible pic, the springs give a 30mm lift is (1.2inch). Those are stock size tires 225/55/18. Having only a few shots from a YouTube video to go off of i wasn't sure what to expect but it's an even lift and fitment is like oem.
This car has 116,000mi. on it, 2.0l CVT awd
The Kayaba shocks are the Excel G series with part numbers 339253 339254 front and 340060 rear. Those are #s from the Citroen or Asx version and I don't know what the differences are but they fit in the OS and thats what i used.
H&R 28805-1

I reused the rubber shock protector that goes over the shiny part of the shaft and the lower spring piece that goes under the stock springs and seats it.

Ride is good, firmer than stock but not by much and settles quickly over bumps at speed. So much better than the stock units with 100+thousand miles on them

Thanks for sharing this mate! I have a spacer lift and would like to do the H&R lift springs. I have looked into those a lot myself. Glad to see a quick note about them on here. I am due to replace a front shock and may just swap them all out this spring with new shocks and H&R's. The Exel G shocks do ok in my book for what this car can handle. It would be great to get some Bilsteins on here!

Hello again! After installing new tires my alignment guy says my rear toe adjustment is frozen.
Anyone know what he means haha. My only experience is with a WRX, where I remember there was camber adjustment on the lower strut bolts up front and I don't remember the rear so I'm of no use heh. Alignment guy said our cars don't have front camber adjustment and I'm at the max spec or maybe even alittle more than that on the positive side.

What do I need to buy?? : p Also for all this the car drives great I can't tell one way or the other.
I can upload print out in a few maybe.
