H&R Sport Springs and spacers

Just installed the springs.
Which spacer setup do you guys recommend?

F: 12mm R:15mm
F: 15mm R:18mm
F: 12mm R:18mm

I like the aggressive look, but what will look good for this drop?

I put H&Rs on mine a few weeks ago and went with 10 on the front and 13 on the back.

I'm going to run 12mm front and 15mm rear on the H&R Sports...

This guy has the same setup and it's glorious:

Perfect, looks like it should have from the factory not like the jacked up POS it was.

Ride hasn't changed much, if at all. some bumps are better and some are worse but overall not much difference if coming from m sport springs.

On that note, I've got some m sport springs up for grabs if anyone's interested.

Way to aggressive I think, i'll take pics of mine and post.

13 on the back is on the brink of looking to much so not sure if 15 will look right, same for the 12s on the front.

pics on the way...

I would suggest measuring for yourself by hanging a string with weight on end from the fender, then determining how much poke (or not) you want. What looks good to some people is ridiculous looking to others.

Here's the pics, don't have a before pic but trust me it was like it was on stilts.



Some shots of the wheel spacing...











Spacing of the back wheels from the back...



Lowering with a front splitter will mean it will catch on everything...
