Yup. My fronts are cambered pretty badly but I'm just going to wait till my michelins crap out on me before I spend money on a camber kit.

Evenutally, the H&R springs will sag. After that, it will begin to affect your camber.

I've had mine on for about 3 years now (~50k miles). In the beginning, I didn't have any camber problems and the drop was just right. Now I believe the front is more at 2 inches which caused camber wear. I bought a camber kit to correct the problem, but I get rubbing from the right tire whenever I make a sharp L turn. It's annoying. The tire rubs against the upper fender lip. I'm considering getting the H&R OE springs to give me a higher height, but I am unsure how the car would look afterwards.

I have them. They're really nice and the ride isn't bad at all. My friends say that it feels like I have aftermarket shocks as well, but I'm riding them on my stock shocks. No problem whatsoever.

I had stock shocks for the first 3 years. Eventually, they gave out so I installed the KYB AGX recently..

the sagging occured while I had the stock shocks on. I don't think it makes any difference whether it was on stock or aftermarket shocks. all springs sag eventually. too bad my shocks don't have a ride height adjustability.

DRFlickner on this board has them on his 99 integra paired with Tokico illuminas. I think car handles great. depending on shock setting ride can be nice and smooth or super tight where you can't even rock the car when it's parked

I've got the H&R race springs and they rock ***! i don't remember perfectly but i think it's 2.0 in the front and 1.8 in the back? i paired them with some tokicos and my ride is excellent. only thing i don't like is that my camber kit that i put on squeeks like a mother. it's the progress camber kit with the polyurithane bushings...damn hard *** polyurithane.

just get ground controls and call it a day.
if you order it directly from http://www.ground-control.com ...
you can get custom spring rates...i too have the koni yellows
with height adjustable perches...but you can't fine tune the
height like you can with ground controls.

now i want ground controls and that means i wasted my money
with not going with them in the first place. it's all up to you though.

H&R sports=1.75f 1.50 r
H&R race=2.0f 1.75r

These are the race springs about 3 days after the install,they have settled a little lower since then.

Yep, I wish that i got GC instead of H&R's. The H&R's just arnt low enough for me in the back. But once i get konis i can lower it with the perches

According to your sig you don't have the springs GSRjunky is asking about, which are H&R sports. Your sig says you have the OE springs.
