Default Neuspeed Race vs. H&R Race?

Yes, I did a search. Archive and Recent. Came up with some answers but not everything.

Basically most people said they like there Neuspeed Race Springs, but that they have a sagging problem (not what i want), but they also said that the springs rates are good because they are progressive so the ride isnt that harsh.

For the H&R's, i didnt find anything about sagging (good) but they did say that the ride got considerable harsher (is this a word?)

It will be for occasional auto-x and im going to mid-ohio for school sometime in the future and i dont wanna be riding on hhe stock suspension. This is my daily driver so i dont want too harsh of a ride.

Thanks for all your help.

You will definately need a camber kit with Neuspeed Race springs. They are VERY stiff. I put the stock springs back on after 3 months because I couldn't take it anymore. They work great for auto-xing but I still regret buying them for daily driving.

I can't say anything for the H&R's cuz i've never used them but i love my neuspeeds. As for the stiffness and the ride quality.. well it takes some getting used to. And u will definitely need a camber kit.. I'm actually waiting for my friend to come thru so i can get the skunk2 camber kit on my ride. But I love the drop and the feel. And i almost never scrape, u just have to get used to driving a lowered vehicle. hope that helps

I don't have H&R's on my car, but my friend has them on her S4 they are very high quality but as with any race springs you should expect the ride to be bumpy

Thats very true... if ur worried bout ride quality then ur better off with less of a drop with some sport springs like the eibach sportlines. But Keep in mind that with any race springs ur gonna NEED some serious performance shocks to dampen the ride with those springs for example koni yellows which i believe are reallly called sports.

H&R make neuspeed springs. Just FYI. I think Bilsteins are pretty tough too. You may want to consider coilovers if you are autocrossing and daily driving. I thnk race will be too low for daily driving.

Thank for all the replies. I think i am going to go with the Neuspeed Race Springs. For those of you that said i should get better shocks too, i wont put on these springs untill i get some Koni Yellows. For those of you that said i should get coilovers, i would love to but i just dont have the money. Thanks.

One more question. In one of the posts that i found while searching, the guy said that lowering the car too low would cause things to break. I think he said CV joint and something in the tranny. I dont see how lowering a car can make these break? Would lowering my car reduse the liftime of parts other than the shocks? Thanks

Good choice... i've had mine for a long time now and have had no problems except for premature, irregular tire wear(which can be fixed with a camber kit). But i think ultimately its all personal opinion. IF u get a chance... get a ride in one so u can get a feel for it.... that way u won't regret it later.

Just an FYI, but H&R hasn't made Neuspeed's springs for about the past 4 years.

Hey krrrrrrzyrebel: Your car looks amazing. I have a quick question for you though. Did you get a camber kit? If so, which one did you get??

who cares, they r the only springs i would use on my race car. anytime u lower a honda, GET A CAMBER KIT. even the slightest drop usually whacks out the camber specs. if ur not a road racer every weekend, u will wear out ur tires. H&R and NEUSPEED rule.

I have H&R Race springs on my teg. They drop your car a lot and the ride can be a bitch. It's worth it though, because w/ my ST swaybars installed I handle like a maniac. People can complain about the ride all they want, it's not their car.

I'm switching my neuspeed race springs to TEIN SS. Neuspeed Race Springs are too low for daily driving me.
