hows the ride on the H&R race springs for a EK
i am getting H&R race springs got the brand new for 96 bucks shipped to my door so i couldn't resist.
but how is the ride i have stock shocks right now on my 96 hatch dx about 75000 miles on the car.
but is it going to bounce to the point that i wanna puke or is the ride decent?
and also which shocks should i be looking into to make the ride real smooth?

first off, i dont have any first hand experience...
but i would imagine they would be realllly rough with stock shocks, they are a really stiff spring so stock shocks wouldnt be able to support them very well.
i'm not sure if you would bounce much, it would be more like a kidney shot every time you hit a pothole....hehe
my opinion: save up for some nice struts (even though i dont know which ones to recommend so i wont throw out names), then pair the two together and you should have a much better dampened ride.
P.S- where did you get them for 96 shipped?! if you dont mind sharing...i might jump on that

I like the spring (plan on ordering some for me soon too) as for shocks it is rally up to you but I have had good experiences with tokicko and AGX

Your gonna want the struts, I needed them with the H&R Sport Springs and Tampa has decent roads, well except I-275 and downtown which is where I go everyday for work.
