Excellent more suspension options.

They're going to have a very small quantity the second week in January--maybe only 5 or so sets. The regular stock inventory isn't going to be available until early/mid February. The drop is supposedly 1.2" front/1" rear, so a mild drop, though I was told to wait for the official marketing info for clarification. (Assuming that first 5 sets will be used for final measurements). They are not offering up the part # yet unfortunately but it's the only spring they're expecting to have for the Stinger anyway.

That seems to be more mild than Eibach.

Damn dude you beat me to it. I was actually thinking about doing an introductory group buy on these for forum members. It'll probably be like $275 shipped to US destinations. However there are none in stock...shipping of the first batch will be end of Feb.

Also, they changed the specs to 1.3" front, 1.2" rear compared to the pre-production product sheet.

That's almost on par with Eibach.

Yea basically the same thing so these are a toss-up. I'm surprised H&R changed their minds on the specs though. They usually go after a more conservative drop, and that's what their original product spec sheet said too. I did make it clear to my sales rep over there that I didn't think that was a good idea because demand these days is overwhelmingly in favor of a more aggressive drop, so maybe that had something to do with them changing it. I'm sure they can just look at the sales numbers and figure it out on their own tho.

I would have preferred if they did a more mild drop too.

Eibach should be doing a Pro-Kit and I'm sure ARK will do GT-S springs. Those will very likely both be options in the near future.

Odd that they are both focusing on the GT and nothing on the 4cyl.
