I think thats the setup I'm going with! How is the front rake?! any pics?

Thats good Rob will already be familiar with the H&R Bilstein setup!

Derek Zoolander · 03-01-2010, 04:09 PM

Joe will have to get some pics once it's settled. There seemed to be a little reverse rake, but the front should settle down nice and even.

haha he might be. he is a wicked cool guy, just toss him some cash or a case of beer. only thing i can think of that might be an issue is that its his dads towing companies garage, so not sure if his dad will be hesitant of insurance issues and crap like that

DJKhan85 · 03-02-2010, 11:27 AM

man I wish I had a garage so I could install my coils now. I'd be happy to help people out as well....but only when it gets warm outside

TL · 03-02-2010, 11:45 AM

Haha....glad Rob was able to help you guys!

MassBimmer · 03-02-2010, 12:35 PM

I can't imagine the reverse rake will go away with just a spring/shock/strut swap...H&R springs are nearly identical drop front/back
