H&R Spring variance.

Below is a chat I just had with Matt @Lethal.
Matt
Hey, Shawn. I don't have pricing aligned just yet, but I would imagine it will be competitive with H&R.
We are still waiting on the final production set to be sent to us so I can test fit it on my car. We have the specs that we were shooting for, but I want to make sure it's all accurate before we release anything.
Matt
We hoped to have them by now, but don't think it'll be too much longer.
Shawn
Ok. Sounds like a couple weeks?
Matt
I'm hoping before then. They were supposed to be finished on 7/29, then 8/4. I'm hoping 2-3 to receive and then to start sending them out.
Matt
It SHOULD be a little lower than what H&R offers
Shawn
Ok. Will you be testing it with a carload of people to make sure it doesn't bottom out?
Shawn
That is my biggest concern. Want it low but still want to fill all the seats.
Matt
We backed off from what we originally wanted because of this. We expect it to still be OK fully loaded.
Shawn
Eaxctly what I was looking for.
Matt
I packed the car full to see where it would sit and took that measurement and then backed off about 1/2"
Shawn
Want to still be able to load it up with people.
Shawn
I'm am interested in buying a set when you release them.
Shawn
What color will you coat them with?
Matt
It's a light Grey
Shawn
Ok. Thanks for your help today Matt.
Matt
No problem at all. If you need anything else, please let us know.
Once we get solid information on the springs we'll get everything out there so just stay tuned, but hopefully not much longer.

One thing I noticed is the H&R's on our 2018 XLT 2.3L Ecoboost were much stiffer and the handling was more responsive, the H&R's on our 2021 seem softer and less responsive. It's perfect for us though, it's mostly used for running errands and roadtrips so I'm not complaining. Just an observation and it could be becaiuse the 2018 was lighter, but I expected similar results with the same brand of springs.

Where at in Sacramento? We have same ST id like to see it with HR springs. I have the Steeda springs in the box I was waiting to see the coil over reviews but now the new lower Lethal springs might be a perfect fit for me who knows but I am tired of it being stock height looks so much better lower.
Would you say the HR spring are on par with the stock springs as far as stiffness? where did you have yours installed at? sorry for all the questions.

No worries, I'm in South Sac and am usually in Elk Grove since I work down there. The H&R's are only a little stiffer than stock but you notice it more when you hit larger bumps or potholes, but I think it's how it should ride from the factory. I installed the springs myself, but I'm an ASE Master Tech so I have all the tools at home. For our Explorer I probably won't go any lower since the wife drives it about 60% of the time and she wouldn't support me taking it to the track lol!. But I'm ok with the way it rides for a daily driver. Share your email and I'll send some pics if you like.
