Question Si Springs On R18? DIY Request

I tried searching for 2 days and still no result as if any r18 members put si springs on thier ride.

same ride height? better handling?

how many hours to change all 4 springs?

I also need to know how to change the springs on the r18 as it looks different from the SI DIY on this forum. front and back plz

it will be the same as an SI. if it was different, the si suspension wouildnt fit..

the ride height will be a tad bit higher but it will handle better and ride will be stiffer

hmm that's a good reason then, some guys with r18s installed the Si suspension and rear bar and they were impressed, just search a bet.
