H&R springs with stock bilsteins
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 6:53 pm
Hi everyone!
I'm thinking of upgrading springs on my car. Here is what I have:
2011 MX-5 soft top with sport package
Racing Beat sway bars, front and rear
Currently run 215/45 r17 on stock wheels (plan to switch to 245/40 with 17x9 wheels)
I do autocross the car and want to make it a bit more competitive and fun, but at the same time it's my daily driver so nothing crazy (60 miles a day ). The goal to make it closer to STR specs (sort of). So here is the question - will the H&R springs (235 lbs front and 150 rear) work with the stock Bilsteins HD? I'm pretty sure it'll be fine with Eibachs and Progress, but those I think a bit soft for me.
I'll also install FCM bumstops, but what length and stiffness should I use?
Appreciate any help!
