Lowering your vehicle is all about STANCE

H&R springs are some of the best aftermarket springs money can buy. They have applications for nearly every vehicle and have a huge product lineup that ranges from lowering springs, coilovers, sway bars, camber bolts and other suspension accessories. If you want to give your car increased control, performance, and appearance than H&R is the way to go.

A vehicle's stance is based on a number of factors including wheels, tires and suspension components. The first step into getting your vehicle the perfect stance is by removing those OEM springs and using either H&R lowering springs or H&R coilovers. H&R coilovers will allow you to dial in the perfect stance for your vehicle and you can ride at factory height or drop it to the ground with more than two inches of lowering capability. H&R springs are set at a specific lowering height that ranges from .25" to more than 2".

H&R springs combines German engineering with quality materials that give your vehicle impeccable performance and ride comfort. If you decide to go with H&R coilovers, their Street Performance SS coilovers have shock damping adjustment so you can set the ride comfort from soft to firm. Soft will provide you with a smooth ride on all surfaces while the firm setting allows you to get in and out of turns much quicker through decreasing body roll.

To beef up the suspension even more, H&R sway bars can be used in both the front and back to tighten up the loose suspension that comes from the factory. Their sway bars are much thicker than your OE sway bars which adds to the suspension stiffness. Although they tighten up your car, the sway bars are not too firm for everyday driving, but rather just right. They will benefit any vehicle both on the street and on the track and also decrease the wear of your tires.

Aside from performing just great, H&R springs look just as good. They really stand out behind any wheel, especially aftermarket wheels. H&R springs make a great show piece that can get your vehicle the win at the show. The craftsmanship that is put into every product is unmatched and superior to many other companies. Their corrosion resistant surface allows them to be used in all types of road conditions while lasting extremely long.

The lower you go with your vehicle, the more negative camber you will have. Negative camber is liked and wanted by most aftermarket tuners, but it is not tire-friendly. Using H&R camber bolts can help out with this to a great extent and correct most of that negative camber. They are adjustable too, so if you like some negative camber than you can have your cake and it eat it too.

Provide Your Engine With a Better Spark Using Magnecor Ignition Cables



A bad performing engine is usually the result of worn out and old spark plug wires. The best solution for this is to replace them with Magnecor ignition wires. Not only are they made for nearly every engine ever produced, but they deliver a better spark than other comparable spark plug cables. Magnecor wires are perfect for either your high performance vehicle or just as OEM replacement ignition cables. They will most likely outlast anything you have ever had before and could last the life of your engine.

Magnecor ignition cables allow your engine to be more efficient than it was previously. Although it will not exactly increase horsepower, it will deliver the air and fuel mixture a better and stronger spark for combustion. This is especially needed if you have an upgraded ignition system in which a strong spark is being delivered to begin with. Any engine that is equipped with forced induction should also consider Magnecor spark plug wires since more spark is needed for the extra air and fuel that is being mixed.

A typical engine tuneup usually consists of new spark plugs, spark plug wires and a cap and rotor. All of these components affect how the ignition system performs and directly relates to engine efficiency. Cut and damaged spark plug wires can leak out spark energy in which engine performance will suffer and can often not be diagnosed at first glance. You or your mechanic can overhaul the engine to find the problems when it is simply the bad spark plug cables. Ultrarev carries Magnecor ignition cables for both OEM applications and high performance vehicles at some of the best prices found.

EMI, or electromagnetic interference is something most of the general public may not know about. EMI is when aftermarket spark plug wires send sporadic signals to various on-board engine computers which decreases efficiency and can cause engine misfires. Magnecor ignition cables are designed to suppress EMI better than any other ignition cable. EMI began to really effect vehicles as technology grew and things like radios and various sensors were being used. The interference needed to be stopped and around the late 1960s, companies got away from copper conductor cables, which have no EMI suppression, and turned to carbon conductor cables.

Along with providing ignition cables for practically every engine made, Magnecor wires can still be custom made to your specific engine. This is something not many companies offer and you can rely on Magnecor to get it right. Their ignition wire sets range from 7mm thick up to 10mm thick for those high performance needs. The thicker wire has a thicker jacket which will withstand higher temperatures inside the engine bay. Ultrarev can satisfy all of your spark plug wire needs, whether you need it for your daily driver or your weekend track monster.
