okay so i found a good deal for H&R's 1.8" drop Sport springs for my '91 Integra LS. Shocks on my car are great as of now but I've heard that eventually they will die with stiffer springs. Does anyone have any info on how stiff these springs are compared to stock? Is my car gonna bounce over bumps in the road (ugh)? Any info is much appreciated.

thanx,
andrew

 

Hey, Got the same springs for my car and they are great no complaints! The ride is a little stiffer, not much and the factory struts work fine. Body roll get cut down a bit on the accord, on other cars I don't know though. I have had mine on for two years now and haven't had any probs. I ain't no hard core race pro like some of these guys, but like I said they work great for me. Thats my opion.

 

sweet!! anyone else have em or know about em?

 

They are excellent springs, I highly recommend them.

 

I have H&R race springs, and they're great. I think it's safe to assume the sports will come with the same level of quality.

 

Do you have stock shocks right now? I had those springs before on my 92 LS with tokico blues and the ride is better than stock. It's great for everyday driving. Then i sold my Tokicos and put my stocks back on. The ride became a little more bouncy compared to when i had the tokicos but it's not all that bad. They are good springs.

 

yeah...i have the stock shocks now. can't afford koni yellows yet

 

You plan on gettin Koni Yellows soon? I hope! I have Integra Pro-Kit on stockers for 4 months and two shocks were blown by then!!!!

 

you'll need shocks after you get them....
your stock shocks will wear out even faster
the spring rates are very stiff for the race springs


G2 integra
H&R Sport 1.80/1.80 340/186
H&R Race 2.25/2.00 400/285

 

Not as bad as the Neuspeed Race though!! 500/450!!!! Ouch!!!

 

so what kind of shock wear do you think the sport springs will cause? i know nothing about suspension stuff...

They will cause a lot of accelerated wear to stock shocks. If possible it is great to get better shocks and install them with the springs. I do not think the stocks will last more than 6 months with even Sport springs if you drive aggressively at all, LIKE ME!!

 

well..i feel that the h&r springs are very good. from what i've heard

 

I had H&R sport springs with koni yellows. And I really loved it. The springs were great, wayyyyyyy better than what i had before (tenzo r = crap). The handling was much more predictable, the tires lost traction nice and progressively, and the ride was pretty decent, not too stiff. I now have ground-control sleeves with eibach linear rate springs. they ride harder than the H&R's, but handle quite nicely, and the adjustability is a big plus.

 

werd...i have heard also that the H&R's springs + koni yellows is a really nice combination. i'm mostly looking for cornering and handling predictability without a really stiff/bumpy ride. the springs are on their way...think i should go ahead and order the koni's or is there something else out there that anyone knows of that's comperable for a lower price?

thanx
