H&R will slam your car. Sportlines are good for a daily driver and it'll give you a nice drop, but it wont slam your car like the Race springs will.

I have had both on my car but its a civic hatch.....

THe sportlines are great for daily driving and little autoxin, ie that turn you like on the street, But the stance and look for the civic was horrible. lowered to much in the front and not enough in the rear.

The h&r race are pretty harsh for daily driving at first but you get use to it. Amazing for autoxing and the stance is great for a civic in the rears but the fronts do sit a little lower then what i want.

But this is for a civic though, not sure if it will be the same with an accord.

they arnt really in the same class of springs... Eibach's are desined more for daily driving as the H&R races are well like the name says Race I myself would go with the H&R's as they seem to ride good in my buddys Si

Bear in mind that Eibach Sportlines are more along the lines of H&R's Sport Springs then their race springs.

Does anybody know the springrates for the H&R or the Sportlines?? Howabout their uncompressed heights in comparison?

I have sportlines and koni yellows, and couldn't be happier. With stock shocks, they ride about 10% stiffer, but much lower

On my integra it is the exact opposite. The front LOOKS higher but it's the wheel well shape. It still bugs me and I had to switch, lol. On the other hand, i can't complain about the Sportlines, they ride nice, kinda like a medium. Not too hard or soft.
