Default H&R Race Springs VS Neuspeed Race Springs

I currently have Neuspeed Race Springs with stock shocks on my 93 Si. I just bought some Koni Yellows that came with H&R Race Springs already assembled.

My question is this: Which is going to be the better spring? I have never dealt with H&R Race Springs is basically the reason that I am asking this question. I like the drop with my Neuspeed Race Springs and was wondering if anyone could post some pix of the H&R Race Springs drop.

Also does anyone current have Neuspeed Race Springs with Koni Yellows? If so please post your picture of your drop.

My current setup looks like this:



Sorry for the Date Stamp.

Thanks

They both have virtually the same drop. My H&R race drop 2" in the front and 1.8" in the back.

H&R has a GREAT reputation, although, that's not to say Neuspeed doesn't. The H&R's have alittle bit more aggressive rates I believe. But, new springs are a hell of a lot easier to sell then used ones. So if you wanted to recoup some of the money you just spent on the Konis and if you are happy with your current springs, then I'd pull the H&Rs and post'em up in the forsale thread and/or the market place. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, they are both great springs And as always Konis=

The H&R Race Springs are: Front: 1.9 Rear: 1.6
The Neuspeed Race Springs are: Front: 2.25 Rear: 2.0

So, If anyone can get pix of the differences I would appreciate it.

I had Neuspeed Race's and now have Neuspeed Sports on Koni Yellows. Stick with what you have, it's a great combination.

Whoops! I didn't read/realize you HAVE the H&R's. Honestly, I'm not sure you would notice too much of a difference. Either springs will work for you fine.

The Neuspeed's will drop it a little lower. Def. use the Koni Yellow's, no stock shocks.

Well keep in mind w/ the koni's, you can swap out the big C-ring on the shock body and get something like an extra .5" raise/drop from what your springs set you at.

I have the Neuspeed Sports w/ the Koni's at the lowest setting, and I have a decent softer ride than the Race's but w/ the same drop. You have options.

Why is it not good to have the stock shocks with either of aftermarket springs? I was told its "ok". Can it cause damage?

it depends on how low the springs will drop it. if they're gonna drop it like 2.5", then you'll most definatly want new struts cuz your stock ones wont hold up for very long.
but if the drop is only like 0.5", stock shocks should be fine.
