Default Neuspeed Race Springs - Good or Bad?

I've seen some "race springs" actually damage CV joints (AND transmissions) because they were lowered TOO much.

I was considering the Neuspeed Race Springs, but will this make the ride "harsh"? Will it put pressure on the CV joints / transmission?

I'd like to lower my Accord some, and I want to stiffen it up some , but I don't want to feel every little bump in the road ... Suggestions on which set of springs / struts I should consider would be appreciated! TIA!

I got some Neuspeed Race... They are low as hell on my Teg. (2"F/1.75"R). They will **** up your suspensions over time. My Knucke-Hub assembly was damaged b/c I've had a low *** ride that I drove the hell out of. Now I'm getting rid of them and geting some TEIN's SS. Consider getting something better. Nowadays 'solo' springs are getting old and it's time to upgrade. I would get a complete damper system all at once. Then a camber kit. Neuspeed Race will also have extreme neg. camber on your tires and will wear the hell out of them. Overall they are cool, but not for a daily driver IMO. If you want to just get springs by themselves then get something not as low as the RACE springs.

I dont know how Neuspeed race are on Integra. But on Accord its not that low and the ride is okay, but you need to get some shock to go with it. Neuspeed race are good spring there not gona damage your transmission or CV Joints. Neuspeed Race are good

Neuspeed Race with Koni Sport struts will give your accord a nice drop and a good ride! I love my setup.

My accord is on neuspeed sports and my bros integra is on neuspeed sports. You really cant compare them. My brothers integra is dropped way lower than my car. My car doesnt even looked lowered with Neuspeed sports. Ive seen Accords with Race springs and they are not that low. I was expecting my sports to drop my car as low as the race springs because I campared the drop to an integra with sports. If i did it again I would have gotten Race instead of Sport for my accord. So if you can understand my writing after no sleep in 2 days, Im trying to say integras with sports look like an accord with race if u compare them side by side.
