I just installed H&R springs on saturday and have none of your issued mentioned. Make sure the car is on a completely flat surface and its possible that it may even out once the springs settle. Other than the my ride is great except if I hit a pothole it feels like I crashed into the Grand Canyon.

Not sure about the rubbing noise but the bounce is a real pain. Feels like a roller coaster! I drove in Sport everywhere for the first few months until they settled. It's perfect now.

You had same problem with bounce on Dinan springs?

Installed Dinan springs and bumpstops last month. Did the install myself and messed up reinstalling my front sway bar endlinks. For a couple weeks, I thought the springs were loose until someone said that I may have gotten my sway bars twisted and loaded improperly since I only jacked up one corner at a time. Properly replaced front end links and the car is now solid. No weird sounds rubbing sounds.
Not sure if you have the same issue but thought I'd share.

I run Dinan springs and bump stops and I do not have those issues at all. I think they installed your spring upside down, the dinan springs are very hard to tell which is up or down. Take it back make sure theyre on correct.

Unfortunately that is the down side to H&R springs on the F series, I ran them for a year and could not stand my life. They crash horribly, there is little shock travel and it bottoms out the oem bump stops. I installed dinan myself and the difference is so big it made me love my car again.

Yes the exact same bounce issue. It settled down after a few months and it's perfect now. There are others here that have reported the same bounce issue. I read one post that Sport mode helped and it does. Drove around in Sport only for a while and eventually they settled. Now rides like it should.

I eventually got the shockware as it's 50% off. And it dialed out any bounce or float. When I go over bumps or corners, the car is planted asf and does not bounce at all.

Thanks everyone, I have another mechanic to reinstall them today!

I have Dinan/b6 never had any of those issue's. I did have my passenger side bit lower then driver side but after a month it settle and now everything is good.
