Default The time has come for new springs.....opinions needed......

Hi, my name is Brian and my prelude is way too low. There, I said it. Yes, it handles like a go-kart at the track, and yes, I scrape on everything, but I've loved it till now. I've been in denial for the last 5 years I've had it this low, but I need to do something now that it's getting boosted. The fact that only one lift at the shop can fit under my car (out of 6), and that I have to spend like 30 minutes just to get it on that lift, is too much for me....
So my Neuspeed Race springs have to go. I've loved them with all of my heart, but the car needs to come up about an inch or so.
I'm thinking Eibach sportlines, but any suggestions are welcome. I don't have the money to get a real coilover setup right now (eventually I'll get the teins) so I'll be keeping my KYB AGX's and just getting new springs.....
Pics of 4th gens with 17's and various springs (especially the eibach sportlines) would be great! But opinions are what I need...
Thanks!
Brian

Eibach sportlines are still probably close to Neuspeed Race. I'd go with H&R sport springs.

Does anyone know where/if I can find the rates on these springs? I'm looking at the H&R's now, but I'm worried that they'll be too cushy.....also thanks for the opinions so far!

why don't you go w/coilovers??? then you can adjust height..make it stock or drop it 3.5"..its up to you.

remember there is no replacement for uhh.....adjustability

I have Ground Control coilovers, I am extremely happy w/them

-D who loves his adjustabel coilovers when it snows..

yeah, if you want a stiffer spring rate you're probably going to have to go with a coilover. The H&R's have a pretty nice street ride, but are by no means geared for racing. My friend's Sportline's handle better than mine. But I don't scrape very much
