Does anyone have the H&R Cup Kit installed on their Crossfire? I see many who have installed the Eibach kit, but it makes perfect sense to me to install this Cup Kit due to the spring rate and dampening being perfectly tuned. Here's a link to H&R's website, cheapest I have found the kit is 736, maybe that's why nobody has it. http://www.hrsprings.com/site/index.html

 

Eurorev eibachs cost me 350 installed and 350 for ecu chipping! Ask them about the h&r kit I heard it was cheaper and stiffer.

 

cheaper as in quality, or as in price, also, H&R makes just a spring kit as well, im talking about a full strut spring kit, its a completely different suspension set up, its designed for the crossfire though so i know it will work, but that way you get the dampener and spring which are designed in conjunction therefore perfectly tuned.

 

the cup kit wasn't available for the crossfire when i purchased my koni & eibach set up. i spent just over $500 in shocks and $200ish in springs (at my dealer cost through tire rack)....which equates to about the same price of the h&r cup kit.

if this was an option to me at the time of my purchase....i would have selected the h&r cup kit combo.

i think the eibach springs are too soft in the rear for my preference (the car squats too much in the rear under acceleration). the cup kit is stiffer than my set up...but this would solve my issue. the quality of a cup kit is excellent...i used to sell them in the past when i was a sales manager for tc kline racing (they specialize in bmw racing).

$695 at the tire rack...go for it! (see link below)

hope this helps.

 

wow i'm sold, thank you sir.

 

The springs were cheaper and stiffer. I meant. You can let us know if you do the kit.

 

It'll be available on 04/27/05...I've pre-ordered mine already and I hope this one performs great!

 

I think this kit sounds awesome, but it says extreme height lowering...1.6 to 1.8 inches. If I recall, the Eibach lowered 1.2 inches and people had some rubbing problems. Is this H&R kit going to be a problem for everyday driving?

 

Cup kit.......??? the only cup kit I need for my Crossfire is one to properly hold a cup of hot coffee! Sorry but I couldn't help it!

 

Thanks rostija...I know, we left it wide open...but seriously, does anyone know if this is or does anyone foresee this much drop in height to be an issue??

 

I've had no problems with my eibachs and remember some people might have different Pads on the springs they very in height by almost 1/2 inch overall.
