Anyone have an H&R Touring Cup Kit?

[Cadeez]

I'm seriously thinking about getting one because I can get a great discount through a friend, just looking for a few reviews. I would be getting the Touring kit, not the Sport kit, the Sport kit lowers it too much for me. Oh and pics of your car if you have them, thanks!

This thread is relevant to my interests... Although I'm considering the Sport setup.

On the HR website, they have an option for each package "with sport sus" or "w/o sport sus" I'm assuming that's a reference to the ZHP package?
So we would be ordering the "with sport sus" kits?

Interested as well.

The non-sport kit will fit, but might even raise the car and probably rides a little softer than the OEM sport setup. I would recommend the sport cupkit if you want something similar to OEM ride/handling, with a mild drop.

Edit: I don't think the touring kit will actually raise the car any, but the ride is gonna be a bit "mushier" than the stock setup.

I HAVE IT!!!! i just installed it 4 weeks ago. Absolutely love it. (the H and R touring kit that is) yeah, the sport would be too much low and prob rub. the touring lowers front by .75, and rear by .25. Perfect. I have no pics....actuallly, hang on. Ryans 323 took a pic. Let me find it.

Edit: I just read some of these posts. The Touring Cup Kit Definitely lowers the car. I have ZHP. It still lowers it and it is stiffer (but still comfortable) in the zhp. All of us have the "sport" suspension from the factory. Again, the Touring kit lowers the front by .75 inches, and the rear by .25 inches. For me, this is perfect amount of low. Post any questions and ill do my best to answer.

Ok, David, that looks AWESOME! I have never considered changing my ZHP's stock suspension because, like many, I find it a great balance of sport & comfort. But – thanks to all of YOUS GUYS & your "moar lowerz!!" – the idea is growing on me. When my OE dampeners are gone (which I don't think is too far into the future . . . ), I just may hit the H&R Touring Cup kit . . .

Minor side note/question: Do any alignment gurus know if a drop & stiffer springs (like these H&Rs in question) should call for a change in alignment specs from factory? Or will the suspension geometry – when the car's properly weighted – take care of that itself?

If you drop one inch...that will produce about 1 degree of neg camber. Basic thumbrule and not exact.

Crickett,
Someone smarter than me on alignments will prob answer this before then, but Monday I go in for an alignment. I just did suspensions and control arm bushings. I will know Monday for sure but in this case especially, I don't see the need to change the specs.

Also, im in real estate and still do take around clients on occasion, so I have to keep a somewhat proffessional look. The lowering that this kit provided gave me the look I wanted.....which was the average jjoe would think I had a sporty car, but only those that knew cars would know it had an aftermarket suspension.

Mtnman,
This is the exact response I was hoping for!! That's great, you said exactly what I wanted to hear, and I'm definitely going touring. I'm not willing to sacrifice driveability and having to slow to a stop when going into a driveway so I don't scrape. Your car looks great with the .75" lower up fron and .25" in the rear. Plus to be honest, I'm not huge on the "lowered" car look, makes me feel like I'm trying to be young again, no offense to anyone out there though. I do like the look, just not on my own car. Anyhow, thanks again for thw write up, it's on now!

One question, where'd you get it and how much? If you don't mind... You can pm me if you want.
