I recently ordered a set of Illuminas for my 95 Accord and just ordered a set of H&R racing springs for their drop. But I have a couple questions and concerns. I've been reading a lot of reviews on this setup or very similar setups. Some folks say that they ride like a dream, and others.. not so much. I'm gonna be DD'ing 99% of the time, but honestly I've ridding on my shot shocks w/ egay coilover sleeves (don't ask) forever and honestly a little bumpy or hard isn't going to kill me. Honestly, I don't plan on tracking with the Accord, but I'm willing to give up on the comfort for best handling possible. Onto the questions... And please don't give me answers like.. "Go with Koni/GC, best setup ever."

How many people would say this is a great setup from personal experience?

Will the shocks go out due to the 2.25inch drop in front (2.0 inch in back)?

I know Illuminas have warranty up to a 2 inch drop, but how would they know if I dropped the front the extra .25 w/ the HR setup?

Any other things I should be concerned when running this setup?

All serious responses are greatly appreciated.

Illuminas are great shocks. I run them on my integra with ground control sleeves and i love it. Ive been dropped over 2 inches for almost three years now with no complaints.

As far as ride quality goes, I have my illuminas set on 4 front and rear because on the lower settings, car feels bouncy and under damped. My spring rates are 450 front and 380 rear(im pretty sure the h&r springs are pretty close)and the ride is pretty stiff/firm and never bouncy.
