Default 99 Accord Coupe, Neuspeed or H&R?

On my 98 integra ls I had some H&R sport springs I was happy with the ride but it was a little Raked out for my liking
99 GSR I had 98 Spec ITR springs and it was Awesome but didnt quite look low enough for me

Now Ive searched far and wide. are there any peeps out there willing to share their experiences between race and Sport springs from Neuspeed and H&R

I was close to buying a set of TEIN SS springs but then I found out how low the springrates are. Ideal drop for me would be 1.8-2 Front and 1.6-1.8 Rear

This would be my first set of race springs, only thing that scares me is I dont like riding on bump stops and I also dont like UCA fender contact.

I will most likely run some KONI oranges because I cant afford yellows and Im careful around bumps.

Please post and share
Thanks

Me personally have owned NEUSPEED lowering springs. 2.0/2.0 F/R and they have worked great for me. Not to bouncy, but not stiff where ya feel like its a go kart. They are very affordable and you can def get them at the height you want.

edlibrock makes a kit that lowers ride height but mostly keeps the stock ride

Im not worried about the ride being stiff
What I DO NOT WANT is Lowering springs with sissy rates
Id rather have high spring rates and stiff ride than soft rates and pliable ride.
Most of all I dont want to be hammering around on bump stops because the springs are not stiff enough.

I can't think of any good reason you'd be 'hammering around' on bump stops if you choose a quality spring and cut the bump stops as instructed.

What shock do you plan on pairing your new springs to?

Most likely Koni Orange STP's

And For cutting the bump stops I prefer to leave them full length as a safety.
