Default H&R OE Spring? How much gap between the wheels and fender?

right now, i have eibach pro kits and the front is a lot higher then the rear.

i was wondering if i get the H&R OE Springs which is a .75 inch drop, how much gap would i have between the wheel and fender?

i know that, with the eibach pro kits,

the front has a 1.5 inch gap

and the rear has a .5 inch gap. hella UGLY.

anyone know how much gap would i have using the H&R OE springs?

Thanks.

I have the OE's with AGX's and kumho 205/45/16's and there is a TWO finger gap all the way around....about a 1'' drop from stock, perfect in my opinion

yea im interested, how much are u letting them go for?

my ride is a 96 integra ls.

oh yeah, i have some 17's on my ride with tokico blues.

so there should be about 2 finger gap between the wheel and fender.

if it is, its cool, as long as it even and not lopsided.

and how's the ride quality?

no different then the pro kit correct?

I hadn't really set a price yet. The cheapest on groupbuycenter is $125 +shipping right now...so maybe $90 +shipping? Where are you located? Feel free to contact me through email.

I really like them. Stiff enough to handle curves notably better, soft enough to handle the bumps pretty well - and you're not dropped so low that you scrape on everything (my front bumper still *barely* clears most curbs).

My OE's dropped it between 1" and 1.25". I've had mine for about a year and a half and they handle good, no camber problems, and ride super smooth.

If I want to lower the (stock) car using the H&R OE Spring, do I need anything else besides the spring itself? need any chamber kits?

You should get aftermarket shocks, but no you won't need a camber kit. Mine ended up being 0.9 degrees all around, which is great for the street and won't wear enough to affect tire life.

I have the Neuspeed SofSports (same as H&R OE but slightly softer, wish I got the H&Rs but I'm pretty happy with the Neuspeeds still), like the guy above I also have 205/45/16s and a 2-finger gap all around.

Sure...these are different wheels and tires, but they're still 15's with 205/50's on them.
