Is there any difference b/w the NEUSPEED Sport spring and the H&R Sport spring??
and for formality sake.. we'll say its for a EG hatch

A guy from a local shop told me they were the same. But he was trying to sell it to me.

I have heard that they are pretty much the exact same. At least the Race Springs are about identical!

ive heard they are teh same also.. actually i was on the fone w/ neuspeed today and back a couple years ago.. neuspeed/h&r springs were made in the same factory.. although.. i didnt ask abotu now..

but im curious too.. is there any difference b/w the 2 springs performance wise? does one lower the same as the other?

Don't buy either of them...they are cheap and they suck...Spend your money on something worthy of it.

Nuespeeds have a little less spring rate than H&R from my understanding.

Difference will most likely be the amount of lowering and price. I believe the H&R's lower your car more than the Neuspeeds. And depending on where you shop, you may find one brand cheaper than the other. I have Neuspeed sport springs and Tokico HP shocks on my civic. I went with Neuspeed over H&R because I found the Neuspeed springs for less and because they didn't lower the car as much as the H&R's. They ride fun and look fine. Although, since I've decided not to mod my car, I should have kept it stock and saved the money for something else. But you can't go wrong with Neuspeed.

I've found that Neuspeed will tend to lower more on some applications (ie. 2001 Civic, 2002 Accord). I'm not sure about spring rates though.

i've seen both neuspeed and H&R race springs on the same car(99 Si) and the neuspeeds are definitely lower. i have two friends who had the H&R springs and went with the neuspeeds because they were a better ride.

and yes they are made in the same factory. neuspeed springs are made by H&R.

Has been educated... thank you very much!

EG_Si

good.. b/c (i havent installed my springs yet).. my main concern was ride comfort.. i hate the ride on my race springs.. haha.. i hope ill be much happier w/ the neuspeed sport i just got..


but hmm.. one person in the thread says h&r lowers more.. and the other says neuspeed lowers more.. i guess it differs based on application?

Don't even start saying anything bad about H&R. They're not the best for a Honda, and that's because they're main concern is German cars. KNow your stuff before you talk down on a company, especially a great company like H&R.

This was true until several years ago. Neuspeed springs are now made by another manufacturer, but Neuspeed won't tell people who it is except that it's a major OEM manufacturer.

I have both catalogs sitting here in front of me. If you need a specific application, lemme know.

SlippylesKB

SW20 MR2

H&R Sport - 1.75/1.6" front/rear
Neuspeed Sport - 1.8/1.6" front/rear

H&R Race - 2.5/2.25" front/rear
Neuspeed Race - 2.25/2.0" front/rear

If you are going to espose stuff like this please back up your statments.
You could have a legitimate reason for this opinion, or you could just be full of it, please elaborate.

<FONT COLOR="blue">If u can wait a month, Ill have em on mine,,...maybe less, depends on how long the order takes to get over here,...but its close to christmas so...

BTW, every site I looked at H&R race springs, they quoted 2.75" front and 2.3" rear, but they r for the 96-00 Si...so, my car wont go that low(lighter engine).

EDIT: I have an EK.
