How many versions of race springs are available from Neuspeed? Neuspeed's website indicates 2.0 front rear. The sports are 1.6 front and rear.

Whats the safest drop you can use on factory struts/shocks? I have heard so many different things its ridiculous, I was going to go with the eibach pro kit, but was wondering if the drop was anymore then 1.5" if it would kill the factory components after a while... I just saw a post of the neuspeed sports which drop 2" just curious, thanks...

eibach makes the springs for comptech so I am told. I want to lower my si but did not want to trash the struts with just springs. I like the HFP's but I heard conflickting things about them, thay are more for looks than performance. I think I will save my pennies for the tein set up! $1400 if anyone knows where to get them cheaper please let me know!!!

TEIN Super Street Coilovers.

Not sure if I'd recommend them. They ride good, but one of my adjustment ***** broke off and TEIN won't just send me a replacement.
