Default Neuspeed or H&R springs?

Im looking for suspension for my Ej for autoXin. i am going to get the "race" springs vs the "sport" just wondering what your experience is with the two.

one lowers more then the other, not much to say about these two. H&R is a quality product but when you lower with Race it will get alittle bouncy unless good shocks are used, may even be slightly bouncy with sports unless good shocks are used. by good shocks I mean KYB AGX minimum.

Neuspeed and H&R are quality, so your pretty safe...just get the right spring to lower the amount you want and pair it with a decent shock and you should like the ride no problem

ya, but your paying for a second alignment and if your not installing yourself, a second install price.

But ya, you can install now but you'll kill your stock shocks sooner rather then later by slamming the car on Race springs which also have higher rates stock just can't handle. So it will also be bouncy, so i'd wait and do it right, but ya you can install now if you want

I running H&R's race springs on my 96 civic sedan. The handling difference is night and day. I would highly reccomend new high performance struts. THe old ones wont handle the rebound and drop of the race springs. Im using KYB's and so far its working out great. Cept i need a camber kit really bad!

H&R makes Neuspeeds springs. They are the same thing.
