I bet you'l hear good things about Skunk2 here. I'll be one to say go with the skunks. They use the same springs on their coilovers as they do for their race springs..and the ride isn't horrible. Then again I've got 94-00 integra skunks on my eg. the ride is stiff but i love it

I can't really compare the two cause I only have the H&R's but I know this. I love my H&R Race springs. Even on stock shocks the ride is nice. Not bouncy, handle's awesome, and just a nice ride. If I had to buy new springs tommorrow for a car I would get the same springs. I like them that much.

H&R Race on Neuspeed Koni Yellows. Not bouncy, but stiff and very firm.

I like my Neuspeed springs, but I've heard nothing but good things about the choices listed above.

H&R.

I'm yet to ride ANY car with coil-overs and be able to not feel a bit of a bounce.

Springs & shocks.

concentrate more on the spring rates and less on the brand.
