H&R Lowering Springs

[dwrecckk]

It is silly low with H&R. probably looks great and drives great on a Mercedes or Golf with no fender gap. Model 3 with no fender gap is just painful to drive and will scrap the bottom everywhere.

The Irony here is that you have my exact wheels and drop in your avatar photo.

The car was raised after the lip cracked by speed bumps and numerous scratch on the battery. I even bought bigger tires to raise the front a bit. It is around 1 inch drop now

Cool. I love that lip. Yeah Hong Kong is tough. I lived there for about 5 years, can't imagine driving a car that low around Central.

I may as well add a pic and a video walk around of when my car was briefly on H&R springs. Very "daily-able" and cleans up the gap of the monster truck fender gap haha

I'm about to pull the trigger on some 20 x 9.0's (square setup). Wanting to put 255/35/20 PS4's on them, do you think a +38 offset will clear the knuckle inside the front wheels? I was looking at +35 but I don't want them to poke out and looks like your +38 has a little more tuck in a good way.

Stealth P3D, 2018 with the standard grey brakes on UPP milds for a 0.5 inch drop. May do MPP coil overs down later.

You'll be fine with +35, especially on a M3P.
Is there a particular reason you want to run 255/35s though?

Yes, I want the extra sidewall and load rating is closer to the OEM tires on the 18 inch rims I will be replacing. Also a few hundred cheaper for tires than 245/35/20.

And to be clear, I've got the stealth so the same brake setup as the non-P3D. It's been difficult finding ppl with 20x9.0s on the standard grey calipers. You're the first I've found to ask.

hmm... that sizing is pushing closer to a larger diameter range than I'd usually suggest.
What 20x9 wheels are you looking at?

Yeah, the diameter will be 27". Going with BC Forged RZ21's. Very similar to another popular wheel I've seen ppl put 255/35/20's on (I don't have the money for those though), I just can't find any of them that have the both the grey brakes AND know the offsets they are running. Difficult to balance the minimal poke with the 27" diameter 255's. They do custom offsets too I'm just trying to figure them out.

Ahhh I see.
Feel free to message me if you have any fitment related questions.


Happy to help,

For the h & r springs on performance, can you still go through a car wash?

I think this is a difficult question to answer yes or no to. I never use car-washes but assume they vary in height clearance needed depending on the system they use. Would be like asking if the car clears a speed bump - answer being it depends on the speed bump.

Here is my Model 3 Performance Lowered on H&R Springs. Loved the drop and the ride feel. The springs are for sale btw! (Toronto)

What did you go for on the lip and side skirts? Texture or gloss?

 

[KyleM3]

whats your wrap color?

It’s just MSM, wrapped matte.

Yes you can

On H&R's for a couple more days then switching over to MPP coilovers

Anyone know if H&R springs require camber kits? Im running the stock 18’s but will be upgrading to 245 width tires with 20inch rims. Some people say it’s a must but others say it’s not. I daily my car with maybe 18000mile/year. Not aggressive driving but sometimes like to have fun and will send it down a corner.
