Well I will say I doubt any lowered car will align properly, its not the cup kit right?? How much does the sport H&R kit drop?? I am running Eibach springs @ 1.8" drop in the front and 1.7" drop in the rear with #1 pads up front and #2 pads in the rear, and up front....there is basically no gap, my summer tires rub on the fenders, kinda have to put my fingers under the fender to go on top of the tire!! depending on how much of a drop the H&R kit gives u, u should be ok with #1 pads up front.
