ive got a 95 accord that i used str.t's on the front, and with a small drop (about 1.5"), the struts blew out and now leak oil everywhere and ride worse than the stock struts...they're actually designed to be used just as a factory replacement strut. just my .02...

Hard to say who/whats at fault, I have OEM shocks with H&R sports spring, rear is drop about 1.5 and front is slammed cause i cut the springs, tires are tucked under fender and ive been riding like that for awhile now, no leak or no blown, It's just too bouncy so i wanna get new springs and shocks.

Yes, it will probably be fine. Neuspeed race is one of the better "aggressive" spring rates out there.

will it be a bouncy set-up? and how low is the drop? i dont want it tucking my tires, i want it to just be above the tires with no gaps.
and what are the spring rates on the nuespeed race?

actually they are a sport set on soft. if you have blown one at that height, which is a bit hard to believe but you may have gotten a bad shock, call koni and warranty them. my other guess on blowing them is you have soft rates and slammed the car into the ground a few times. this will blow any shock if you just beat the weight of your car into the shock body.

as for the h&r neu race springs and str.t's. it works but it's going to be light in the back. the sport really is the shock you should be using on race springs
