FYI - that is one bolt, not the pair.  for some reason they do not sell the new correct rear bolt in pairs.  I bought that part number from amazon and had to buy qty:2.  Notes say 1 kit per wheel.

yes 81280 is for a pair.  I quoted the 84130 section which are not a pair, they are sold singly.

Any of you guys have the H&R's through a winter? Im on the fence about doing them before the New England winter here. I may wait until spring.

Yup. Had them on for 5 winter seasons here in Chicago, including record snowfall events, as well as extreme cold temps, and they performed flawlessly.

I no longer daily drive my SHO either, and I have since upgraded to the Megan Racing coil overs.

But the H&R's were great given they were only springs.

I loved providing snow plow services for free, where ever I drove. Haha

Hahaha I would cringe to drive my SHO like that!  My front chin doesn't have 3M Clear Film to protect the paint.  I should do that soon! 

The lip was painted along with getting my bumper resprayed.  I don't tailgate and I still have some new chips here and there.  Should touch them up and get the paint protection film.  Does your bumper have it too? 

And the previous owner drove the car in a few winters.  How does your rear reinforcement bar look?  Mine needs to replaced.  When i go underneath the car its an eye sore!

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the incredible information!  You guys are excellent!

I've accepted the challenge and I'm installing my H & R springs (and cam bolts) on my 15 non-PP, this Saturday.  VERY much looking forward to how this turns out.  I'll post back here with the results.

Okay!  All done!  And I love the way it looks, but I already knew what i would look like.  I can see why some people don't like the ride, but I'm gonna keep it.  Daddy like....

There ya go!  If some people were not made unhappy along the way, it wouldn't be worth it.  LOL.

As everything settles in it definitely gets a lot better. I was gritting my teeth when I first installed them and took the car for a ride. Everything is a lot better now that everything is broken in and settle into place. One thing I would suggest is throwing in some extra weight in the trunk to help them settle in. Just imo

[4sfed]

So a follow upon this tale...

I had some the pogo'ing going on.  Where some bumps would send the rear end off to the left or right side.

Turns out that it's the toe setting causing this. After letting everything settle in for a few weeks, I had a four wheel alignment done, and my rear toe (and overall toe) was pretty far off.

So if you're experiencing pogo'ing after putting these puppies on, get a four wheel alignment.

I'm am really liking the stance and the ride.

@-18 SHO I'm loving the ride from A-Z thus far with the only exception would be roads that have a slight dip @ highway speeds which it hits hard due to the stiffer suspension but nothing Good comes without compromise.  Z   

I think I was the first to mention that you need to give the supension a few hundred miles to settle,break in period for good measures...
BTW I'm in LI N.Y closer to N.J...
