Replaced my springs with H&R and now want to replace stock struts/shocks. Has anyone stumbled upon aftermarket options?

Having difficulty finding anything online.

I am looking to do the same thing. Did you ever find any?

What spacers you install or did you go with off set?

I have not found any options as of yet. Not sure if there are cross compatible options on there either.

Thank you.
Do you have a staggered set up? What size is your wheels? There is not much GC who is riding on springs trying to figure out spacers while my springs on delivery

Found out H&R actually has coilovers now for G20 and G22. I'm going to go with those and sell my springs.

What made you go coilovers?

[jpowers36]

Adjustability of ride height and also I cannot stand the noises my shocks/struts make when going over bumps in the road. They are so noisy when they compress/decompress. Confirmed a couple other owners have the same thing even on low mileage cars (mine is not). So I wanted new ones to get rid of that.

Interesting, the reason I'm asking is because I installed HR springs but I couldn't handle them. Maybe because of adaptive suspension, but God they would bottom out on small bumps. Went back to stock for now.

When you say bottom out, do you mean you would scrape your bumper or car underneath because it was too low?

No, The shocks would compress to its limits and make a loud noise over bumps.

For example, lets say your shock has a compression length of 4 inch. If you lower 1.5 inch now you have left with 2.5 working length. So when you would go over bump it would compress to its limit and make a loud
hitting sound.
I think its the same sound you are talking about. I just think its your shocks bottoming out and not their noise.

I looked over your link for the coilovers. I have adaptive suspension, so those wont ft me.

Never heard of that happening with those. Mine aren’t bottoming out. I’m stock suspension. The noise is the shock compressing/decompressing but it’s much louder than most vehicles.
