H&R Springs

[Corey Sig]

Does anyone have a picture of their SHO with these springs? I'd really like to see what it looks like before I start searching for them.

That's my stance too and Tuxedo Black color !!!!

I know it's a little dark but hope you can see well enough what the difference is - I think it's perfect! The front & rear have the exact same clearance between the fender and tire now!

They all look awesome! I am definitely getting them in the spring tire. But I'm hoping if I down size to a 18in rim it might be a little bit lower. I'd like for there to be no gap at all. But also it doesn't tuck the tire. Did you guys do the springs yourself or paid someone to put them on?

 

[Tx13shoPP]

Myself along with a helping hand. I do have auto tech back ground, but any do it yourselfer can tackle this job.
As a side note anyone else's springs come without instructions?

 

[Corey Sig]

How long did it take you to do? And was it easy for you or difficult?

 

[Tx13shoPP]

Roughly 5 hours. Includes a run to auto parts store. Had to rent the brake caliper wind back tool and buy an 18mm wrench I misplaced. 4-5 of 10 on difficulty I feel

You'll definitely want to get a wheel alignment when you're all done though! I'd wait about 2 weeks to let the springs settle a bit then get an alignment. My alignment was outside the threshold and needed it! Now, here's the problem - there's no way to adjust camber on the rear wheels on Taurus! You have to buy a camber kit. I bought mine on Amazon for like $36.00. There's a thread on here and on Ecoboost forum about how to do this. Just search for the threads. But it's straight forward - one of my local "Jensen Tire," auto centers did it with no issues!

anyone lowered have any issues with the wheels hitting the wheel well on a decent bump/dip with or without rear passengers? Any wheel well rub on high speed bends with or without dips/bumps?

 

[OmaHahn]

No issues at all especially if you have the PP option because you get better suspension and shocks with PP.

 

[Tx13shoPP]

No issues here

OmaHahn, could you tell me the part # for the camber kit for the rear that you bought from Amazon ? Thanks

I hear that H&R can make the ride a bit stiffer. Other than that, it is a good spring just like the Eibach.
