Default Springs that lower an R 0.75" to 1.00" Inch?

I've done a search and most of the previous posts talk about spoon springs (which lower the car about 1.25" or more) or some other type of race spring. I am looking for a spring for use with the stock shocks that lower the car only about 1 inch and no more. I like the idea of H&R since I had a set on my previous GSR but they don't make an OE spring for the Type R.

I hope you guys can come through for me again.

kg/mm springs. Best drop in springs, IMHO. Don't go with Spoon if you want a subtle drop.

On stock shocks I'd use:

Spoon
kg/mm
H&R

If those springs don't give you the right look you're after, then live with stock.

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Where can I pick up a set for $150 to $175?

I got mine from Clawz inc. in NYC but I'm sure that any H&R retailer can get them.

The H&R ITR specific SPORT springs are actually 1.5" F and 1.3" R.

That's what I thought. You can check that on the kingmotorsports web site. Grrrr!
So am I out of luck? Guess it's time to start cutting the stock springs.

Why don't you just buy a GC kit with modest springrates then you can adjust height how you want it.

Kinda out of my budget at the moment - I did have those in mind though.

yes...but thats about your only option left for a modest drop while IMPROVING the handling characteristics of the R without getting into the complicated word of adjustable coilovers
