Yeah, I was thinking of H&Rs for my 5th gen. You'd be looking at I think 1.4" drop, or something around there. That would be a clean drop with little wheel gap, but at the same time it wouldn't be slammed and tucking. I think the Sport springs have the smaller drop and the Race springs slam it. I'm not for sure, but H&Rs would be a good way to go

hey man,

I had the hr race springs in and it was slammed like 1.7 in front and 1.9 in back with 16's I scraped everything on the road. the ride was alright. But the handling was absolutely amazing. I loved the handling, being able to corner like a true sports car is badass. I think the ride would have been smoother if i had aftermarket shocks. good luck with your pick

I don't really know of any sites with deals on springs at the moment, I tried getting a new set on ebay for 130, plus 30 to ship--it fell through though...but I don't know if that was a deal or not. I haven't really read up on good prices for lowering springs, I'm too poor at the moment to really think about it, lol. You could try a groupbuy I would think...

I have a '92 S, just installed the H&R/KYB AGX Combo and am loving the feel of every corner and turn. I got the race springs but it still only dropped the car like 1.5 all the way around.
Check out inlinefour.com, they were running the combo for under $500 including S&H!
