I have never been to Lebanon valley but we might cross paths one day! I have been to Milan and Cecil county many times and my last outing with a Trap speed of almost 116 mph below!
The H&R springs will definitely help in that department as it netted me a best 1.752 60' time.

Best of luck with the tuning and mods. Z

I guess many of you know I love the H&R Springs setup and only gripe is roads that have a dip @ highway speeds you will most certainly feel the impact due to the overall stiffer suspension but if your on the fence go for it IMHO. Z   :)

I absolutely LOVE the way the car sits now.  Remember though, that you ARE removing 1.5 inches of travel off the top (since the bottom of travel is unchangeable).  Just remember that it will be a stiffer ride, and you MUST watch for higher curbs when parking and opening doors.

...did I mention how much I love her stance now?  In fact my family sometimes catches me checking her out as we're walking away or towards, the car.

When I order these do I need just the one pair or should I order two ? One pair per side? I'm pulling the trigger on H&R springs in the upcoming week or two!

You can use the ones you posted, I did.  However, these are the revised ones right here that I will be replacing the 81280 with.

You will need to buy 2 of them, they do not come in pairs.

So question, not sure if it was covered in this thread or not (10 pages?). I have a 2013 nonPP and need to do a full setup (creaks and leaks). I was considering doing coilovers but think HR will be good enough as I want easy setup and not have to mess with adjusting stuff. I'm just concerned about using nonPP innards on the springs as I read in the first few pages it could be a wavy ride. So is it time to upgrade to PP? Can I do that?


1) Can you put PP shocks/struts/mounts on a nonPP car?
2) Is the original parts list still accurate?
3) Do you need a camber kit? (Is that what the bolts people are mentioning above?)


Sorry, just trying to get a clean answer before I make an order. I've been across 3 sites and have read multiple different answers, looking for a definitive.

1) Can you put PP shocks/struts/mounts on a nonPP car? I can't see why not.  The car will ride alot stiffer FYI.
2) Is the original parts list still accurate? Yes
3) Do you need a camber kit? (Is that what the bolts people are mentioning above?)  Use the bolts that I posted in my post. Directly above.

Answers in bold above.


Thanks for the quick reply. This is what I had expected but just wanted some feedback. I'm good with it stiffening as I really want to tighten it up. After my motor swap(rebuild) and tune reload I have a major problem with the rear squatting and the front losing traction. Lots of slop in there that needs cleaned up.


Do you mind me asking what you paid after it was all said and done? I prepped the budget committee with the expense this past weekend of being around $1k after it was all said and done. Sure would be nice to come in below...

I didn't buy new struts and I did all of the labor myself (minus the spring swap on the struts themselves).

I documented my whole swap here:

Polski had NO issues with his 13-NON-PP-SHO IIRC!
He swapped out his NON-PP Struts and Shocks components for the PP Version without incident. 
It's somewhere within the 10 pages.Lol. Z

Thank you both for the replies. I think I'm going to give it a whirl, doesn't look to be too bad. I don't have a Pepboys close enough to me and my local firestone won't touch any part they don't order. Not sure who I'll try for the front springs, guess I'll be calling around.


Total cost with some coupon codes are coming in around $650 range for all the parts, then add in the minor labor cost for fronts and alignment. Looking around $850 on the high side, which isn't that bad.

Thanks man!!I know many have gone without them but in my case the rear camber bolts were definitely warranted.  Z
Did these work? #81280 because spc website is giving me a different part number for my 2013. They are saying #84130. Which are a good bit more expensive.
