Default Quick question about struts & springs

I just ordered H&R sport springs with 1.75 Front & 1.50 Rear drop.

Now for struts I want to get the Tokico Illumina and in the description of these struts it says 1.4" drop.

This leaves me wondering I just made a mistake and ordered the wrong springs. Would these be compatible, if not what is the proper ratio?

Struts: http://www.amazon.com/Tokico-BU3714-...=25PAKM2L7E31V
Springs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H-R-S...item19bb612d36

i dont see why not. they are better than dropping your car on stock struts. these are designed for lowering springs.

The Amazon ad itself makes it unclear as to what exactly you are purchasing. If you are buying just the standard Tokico Illuminas, there is no published minimum ride height. For what it's worth, my Accord was lower than yours will be and I ran the Illuminas no problem.

The 1.4" drop they are referring to has to do with Tokico's setup that includes both springs and struts. At least, that's the impression I got from the description in the link.
