Default H&R OE Sports on a 4th Gen?

I am looking to replace the stock setup on my girlfriends daily driver 4th gen. I've already settled on KYB GR-2 struts. They fit my needs/budget. Does anyone have the H&R OE Sports on their 4th gen? or 5th gen. for that matter. I'm just looking for feedback and pics if you have them. They advertise 3/4" drop. Is this accurate? Any alignment issues? I did a search and didn't come up with anything on the OE's. Thanks.

I have a set or H&R's. Comfortable ride but a little to high for me. I had to put coilvers on the front and have the springs in the rear. At least I don't have to worry about tire wear anymore . Basically if you want a good ride for a daily driven car it's a good bang for the buck if your not worried about height.

Heard H&R are really good..
My setup is Eibach Sportline/Tokico Blues,All Strut Bars,ST Front and Rear Sway Bars,Energy Suspension Bushings.
And ride quality is scarficed but I can take corners on the 110 Freeway in Cali just like a Formula One car

H&R OE Spring sound good for Daily driven... go for it

I have a set of those on my 92 accord. very small drop ( i forgot to measure before I installed, so I can't give you a number), it is not very noticeable which is what I wanted. It is slightly stiffer and corners better but I wouldn't call them "sporty" (the accord is a heavy s.o.b). I had no problems getting the car back in alignment, no kits needed. Ride is still comfortable. slight clattering on deep holes/bumps (upper coils touching?). I've heard that this noise is common for progressive springs like the HR OE's. If you're looking for hard core "sports car" handling then you may want to go with stiffer springs. good luck!
