there are plenty of pictures that would show up if you use the search function just type in 'springs' or something like that and it'll give you plenty of results. post pics when you get them! mmm flush look maybe 10 and 15mm spacers front and rear? not too sure but i bet others will chime in

I have the same set up as you 9.5rear 8.5front +35 and I have the H&R no rubbing or any issues at all. You can go a little more aggressive.

not all spring drops are weak; just your f-sports.

Invest in coils...you'll be happier in the long run. plus you'll have adjustability as well. I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5+40 I just put in Ichiban 10mm spacers and they are flush in the rear. fenders are rolled.

To each his own i guess. Ive seen every spring in person. Uneven drop. Pretty weak. Still think coils are the best....again just my opinion

Remember F-sport = Eibach

thanks If comfort is what you're looking for then there're better choices than H&Rs but it's really up to you cus you know everyone is different. Some may find the ride too harsh and some may not. For me though, they are just what I'm looking for
