h&r lowering spring on stock struts
will I be able to run H&R lowering springs on factory struts and still have the ride that I have now I know I need to replace my strut mounts that's what kind of motivated me to look into this but I don't have a thousand dollars to drop in front struts if so can people post pics of how it looks
h&r lowering spring on stock struts
FE3 struts are not a grand. However lowing the car will change the ride.
Rest in Peace Charlie!

so if you are not beating or taking it to a auto cross and more of a daily driver or drive when its nice out this is a great set up for not a lot of money, just my opinion

You can get a whole set of coil overs for all 4 corners for $800...
With that being said, a cheaper option would be FE3's or PPV struts all around along with the lowering springs.

I have H&R's with the stock struts and it rides fine and handles better than before. Go to the link to see how she sits http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.p...hlight=msb7144
H&R lowering springs, ACE Alloy V12 wheels, LS2 valve covers, Roto Fab CAI, Roto Fab radiator cover, heater hose relocation, Sport Steering wheel.
I had the H&R #94088 on my G8 when I purchased it.
Rode good, but had a little bit of bounce on the rear over large bumps. I attributed this to the stock FE2 shocks with 80K miles on them.
I just replaced them back to FE3 struts/shocks and stock springs.
Here's a pic of the H&R mounted on my car and when I took them off compared to stock.

FE3's on the cheap
You can typically get a full set of FE3's for less than $300. Amazon often has their warehouse deals for open box rear FE3's. They say they are used, but in my experience they were new. I was able to get a pair for $34 each. GMPartsHeadquarters has the fronts for $93 each here and here.
Wow, Fe3s are under $300 now? When I was looking last year, they were ~$370. So I went with the PPVs for $250 shipped.
