washers for H&R springs?

[camdon]

Going to be putting H&R lowering springs on my 996tt. I have seen somewhere that guys have used spacers so it won't be too low.

Any help finding those spacers would be great.

Thanks guys

I can't answer your question, but based on my experience installing H&R lowering springs, you will not need need spacers. It's only a 1.25" drop max, which leaves plenty of wheel gap even if you are running 19" wheels.

Don’t mean to hijack this thread but out of interest, do you need any special tools to instal the H&R springs?

No special tools needed. Other than your typical metric sockets and wrenches, the job requires a ball joint separator and light duty coil spring compressors.

Uwon,

One more tool that is very useful for many tasks, including shock and strut replacements, is a go-through socket wrench set. HF sells one for a great price. This tool allows you to hold the new shock from spinning while torquing the top shock nuts. Some just use an air impact wrench, but it's dicey given that one can under or over torque the nut.

Thanks nick. Our local Canadian Tire store lends out those spring compressors and yes, those go-through socket wrenches are already on my list.
