Just installed H&R supersports and have problem ..Help

liv4him · 05-07-2006, 05:02 AM

My quad shock is rubbing my verticle shock on the passanger side when I go over bigger sized bumps in the road. The spaccing on the drivers side is fine it just the pass. side. I cant get my index finger between the quad shock and the vert. shock. Is this normal when lowering the car so much? And yes the springs are installed right and everything is seated right. By the way Im probally going to sell these springs......just a little to low for me....but I cant believe how good the ride is with these things. Can anybody help?

I've never heard of that problem from lowering it with H&R's.

Did you remove the quad shock completely during the install? If so, maybe you put it on backwards.
Also, I have a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my 04 GT that I might be willing to trade for your H&R's. I love the ride, but would like it a tad lower. PM me if you are interested.

I was wrong its not the quad shock its the sway bar hitting my exhaust. It dosnt hit all the time only when I hit a medium to big bump in the road. How can I fix this, do they have some sort of extensions or do I have to get a new sway bar. Hey sports let me think about it a little because I was leaning towards Steeda Sports.

You just have to get under there and look on your CB to see where it is hitting.There should be some scrapes or scratch's on there.Then you adjust the pipes so they wont do it anymore.

its hard bc you have hangers that hold the exhaust(right after it humps over the axle) tight lyinto place. I've tried bc I have an annying lunk over bumps too. I've lifted it on 5 different occasions and adjusted many things to no avail. I've got no clue what the noise is

*Lances03SVT* · 05-07-2006, 08:14 PM

Mine had a rattle to it and I did just what I said and it fixed it.Every now and then it will still bump something but not very often.

Use a hammer. You can also beat a dent in the spot where the pipe is hitting. Just a small dent in the pipe wont hurt exhaust flow. Try other methods first, but this could be a last resort.

well like I said, the drop is to low for me so I got Steeda sports so anyone looking for new H&Rs I'll be selling them soon as I get them out.

About your MUFFLER! i had a similar problem, i got a custom catback made with flow 40's and they raised one of the mufflers so it was tucked in under the car, that way it is at the same height as the other. btw sounds great very smooth not like other mustangs...unsure why
