Has anyone installed H&R springs on 09+ FX yet? Now they are Can't wait to see pictures of them. TireRack has them on backorder :mad:
 
I have them ordered on TireRack, they are sitting in warehouse for me. I told the guy to hold off on shipping them to me since Winter is here and I don't want to ruin them. They're waiting for me until the spring
 
I remember seeing 1 guy on eBay selling 09+ H&R springs, but it was pretty expensive, like $340 or something, at MSRP I believe. I will wait until TireRack gets it in stock, always had good experiences buying from them before for tire and suspension parts.
 
I'm still waiting too!!! :mad:

My mechanic (and H&R dealer..) ordered the spring kit in september... :err:

The production is scheduled in october...
in november...
at the end of november...
no,no,half december!!!
Maybe i'll find an H&R christmas gift under the tree... :rofl:

Ciao,Marco.
 
Tire Rack just called me and said earliest is January. But most likely later that month for fulfillment.

With all this time waiting, I've had a chance to look around at some other high performance CUVs (X5 X6 Cayenne RRSport) and their suspension height. I think I may cancel the spring for now since the 2nd Gen FX seems to already have a smaller wheel well gap compared to the others. So, I may hold for now... or until the next meet and I park next to a lowered FX anyways.

That's very true. I've been looking at other SUVs and the FX is actually at a nice looking height now. It might be even better with a light 1" drop, but I'm also planning the factory front lip, and together with the drop could mean ground clearance that's similar to normal cars, which I did not want to get into (my GS300 had 4~5 inches of clearance in the front only.... it was a chore to drive around.)

that's the key ... I'm thinking once we see the first 2-gen lowered and parked next to another one it'll make a big difference visually

As far as the front lip, that's a good point, I wonder what type of clearance you'd be looking at ...

I don't think you will lose any ground clearance with the lip. The only thing that will be affected is your approach angle.
I went through this with my 2nd Gen sedan when I installed the front lip. The vehicle looked lower but you did not lose any ground clearance.
 
Thanks for posting the update ... I didn't realize I was so close to the H&R facilities so i called them directly last week and they mentioned them being available mid January. So hopefully no more delays and this new date is accurate, I'm waiting for mine too
