Your Sport looks really good. Are the springs still working out, example, any drivability difference from stock?

Other than the extra lift, the springs are a little stiffer than stock but handling and drivability are pretty much the same

I'm glad there working out. I'm planning to get a lift as well. Just trying to decide which one to get. Replacing just the 4 springs is all you did for your complete lift?

Yes that's all I did. Lifted 1.5 which what I was looking for. Just seemed to me to be a better option than a leveling/lift kit for me. Heard feedback on noises and vibrations with the other options. Good luck

Nice ride. Someone posted at another thread that needed to re-calibrate front camera and 360° copilot after switching to 245 tires. Any problem with those?

I did not get those options on my BS. Good luck with any upgrades.

A few questions: Did you install these yourself? Did all four come together, or did you have to buy them individually? How much were they? What's the difference between springs and a spacer kit (other than the obvious physical difference)? Do you know if they put any additional stress/wear-and-tear on the driveline components?

I'm surprised this hasn't come up as an alternative solution to lifting the BS, but to be honest, it doesn't really look like it's lifted (maybe the angle - looks can be deceiving). I looked for them on their website and I think I may have found them. Is this it (part # 51680)?

May I ask how you determined an increase in performance?
Just driving before and after installation.....you can tell the difference (at least I could) especially in Sport mode. Not scientific and not dyno'd but the K&N filter allows the turbo to get more air which is always good. Thanks for your question

You are correct it seems the H&R spring upgrade is for Base and Big Bend. The other models seem to have more clearance already when adding bigger tires. Thanks

Did you have to remove the bumper for the nudge bar?
