are they the skunk2 adjustable coil overs? or are they the just the spings? i have had the skunk2 adjustables and i did not like them. the only springs that i have had that i liked were intrax and sprint.

I have the H&R race springs and have blown 3 different sets of shocks GR-2's, tokico blues, and Finally tokico illuminas. I just drive street and had the illuminas set on 3 they only lasted about 3 months lol. I think the H&R's are not very friendly springs maybe koni yellows can handle them.

He doesn't want to go lower than 1.5 in ..........maybe he'd prefer some neuspeed sports though


Afterall, how much could you really be looking for in a spring if your favorites are intrax and sprint
