Default Debating on springs......

Which springs are better consider not lowering too much (.75" - 1.75").

1. H&R sports (.75)
2. Eibach pro-kit (1.3")
3. Tein H.tech (1.75)

I am planning on putting these on stock springs on my 94 4 DR, which would you guys prefer?

I like the Type R springs (.75").

Progressive, but still leaves you in the stock category on Autocross. Replacing the springs with aftermarket bumps you to Street Prepared.

And you can't beat OEM quality.

Just to let you know the H&R OE's have the 3/4" drop not the sports. I've had the OE's on my car for 3 months now and am very happy with the drop and performance.

Actually the Eibach Pro's are good too. I have the 1.3" drop on mine and i'm happy with it. No problems at all.

Pro-kit is excellent. Takes care of the gap and has a good ride

I have a GSR, if I upgrade to Type R springs, will it leave less of a gap between my tire and fender? My tires are 205/50/15. Are type R springs better that GSR springs? Or are they the same?

I would pick the Eibach Pro Kit. Not slammed, not stock!

DO you have pics of the oe's? Is the drop even?

I have prokit's and the drop was uneven looking when I had them on my stock struts.
