[Guest-336339]

I ordered my -2 springs from that aus place they charged me extra $40 ordered on august 29 got them today oct 2 usps says they got hungup customs

So i just got off the phone with H&R USA . They told me that the rear wheel drive kia stinger springs 28701-2 are legit however to keep things simple the only sell the 28701-1 in the u.s as its more compatible with both rear wheel and all wheel drive..... according to him the front spring is the same height however is a softer spring which squats the front an additional 5mm..
He said i could not order through H&R i would have to find my own way as in ebay

The rear is the same, the front is very different. Height, number of coils and coil thickness are all different. You can see the comparison in the attachment.

Waiting for mine to come in as well. Ordered the 28701-2 from ebay. Will let you guys know when I install them on the G70. My car is RWD, so we'll see how these springs feel/look/handle. Pretty excited. Wan't to get spacers as well to make the stance a little nicer, I'm on stock 19's.

Still need to install mine ugh

To be honest, even looking at people with the AWD stinger that are using EIBACH springs still look like the have a reverse rake...... i dont think they engineered them correctly

 

[djerickd]

Agreed!!

I checked on ebay and this is what I got, this seems legit to you guys?

If they take PayPal you should be safe either way, if it’s a scam PayPal will reimburse you if not you got a good deal on the springs.

Now that you mention all of the listings of the part numbers end with a 1

Apparently on another thread on this subject numbers ending in 1 are for AWD so please check to suit your car.

You should be buying the H&R -1 set if you have an AWD or the Eibach Pro-kit. Also, if you have an AWD, then you’re in the wrong thread as this one specifically addresses H&R springs for RWD cars.

Well i dont know, like i said earlier even the AWD stinger shows with squat with the part number 28701-1 i feel like getting -2 would work better for awd vehicles as well

I’d be afraid the front will end up way lower than the rear, but I’m all for someone else trying it!

the way mine sit on a RWD, I think it would be scraping and rubbing on an AWD.
