Eibachs or H&R springs whats better
i have some coils and hate them now i've decieded to go with some springs. and i want some eibachs but i feel that 1.7 drop is little for me. and the H&R have a 2''in drop in their what feels smoother or similar to stock. whats a decent price these springs. thanx.
P.S i dont know if this helps im planning on getting some KYBs shocks.

from what i hear the h&r sports are stiffer than sportlines, yet not as stiff as neuspeed race. so i would think sportlines are the softest/closest to stock. this is regardless of the different springrates..

oh yah one more thing you do need a camber kit
If you dont want to go with the Eibach sportline the prokit is just as good from alot of people I know

here's my H&R Sport drop
there is about a quarter size gap... but the good thing is the progressive spring rate wont allow you to really get wheel rub... i've taken turns fast and no wheel rub at all... Go with the H&Rs, they are great.

Re: Eibachs or H&R springs whats better (HondaTeg)
btw, I've riden on both the sportlines and pro kits in my g/f's Si. I LOVE those springs. She used a camber kit with the sportlines though, they were pretty low. Both sets of springs handled very similar, from what I felt. They both felt excellent..
...and, they have the best dropped look I've personally ever seen.. I'm working on getting some right now, I just need some money..

17's and pro kits:
The sportlines rubbed pretty bad, although we both liked how well they handled, so we decided to get some prokits. I wouldn't suggest sportlines and 17's.. (atleast for another civic)
Not sure if Integra wheel wells are different.. I have a feeling it would be fine.

Re: Eibachs or H&R springs whats better (b18bfreak)
I've had both sportlines and now H&R race springs.I love my race springs they specifically made te rear stiff as can be to reduce under steer and believe me it does.They also just about slam the car.The sportlines felt just as smooth as stock but didn't slam it enough IMO because I plan on staying with 15 inch rims.I would only swich to gunmetal R wheels other than that I love my swirlies.Hers a pic of H&R race.2 fr 1.75 rear.For some reason the sportlines were suppose to be 1.75 rear as well but the 1.75 on th H&R sit lower go figure?I guess maybe becouse the front is slammed a little lower.Another thing the sportlines appear to look slightly higher in the front other members have said they agree.
This was about 3 days afte the install they've settled a little lower since.

Re: Eibachs or H&R springs whats better (maggsgsr)
How much does the prokit lower .75 in right? that dark green integra is the perfect drop for me. i think im going with the h&rs..sportlines are a tad to high for me.
thanx for the pictures with the 17s man nice car.

yeah, ive noticed my sportlines in the front are just a tad higher than the rear. it doesnt make it look too bad though and you'd have to really look to notice.

pro kit lowers 1.3" I have it on my integra and I like the drop not to much of a drop but a noticable one. I still scrap my exhaust on speed bumps so I don't want to go any lower

they do make the front of the car seem higher. Very nice springs but this drove me crazy so i switched and now have skunks.

I have H&R drop springs on my 99 gs-r, and they turned out to be great. i've ridden in cars with other suspension, but i like the way my car looks and feels with the H&R springs.
