Car has 27k miles, H&R sport springs have been on the car for the last 13,400 miles.

Doing a tire rotation right now, passengers is starting to leak somewhat, drivers is completely blown and pouring a good amount of oil out.

I knew i was on borrowed time with these springs and stock suspension, and obviously it was starting to get sloppy, but i didn't think it would be this borrowed.

Oh well...time for Bilsteins.

In for your thoughts on the H&R sport/bilstein combo. That's exactly the setup I'm contemplating.

Pretty sure I'm going to switch to the OE Sports.

RI has some of the worst roads in the country, and while I like the look, it's a bit of a chore driving the car with what would be a perfectly normal drop in other places.
