I'm about to buy H&R Sport springs for 96-00 SI to put on my DX (2000).
On the H&R Site they are different part numbers...
Any real difference between the 2 ??
(Si and Dx H7R SPrings)
anyone ever did this or know some kind of answer.. and what might result in installing these on my hatch ?!
Thanx !!

 

Yes, the ratings.....the SI has more weight in the front (larger engine) so, it needs more "bounce"

 

I see

Well what will that change on my DX ?
Feeling, handling, look(drop) ?!
I have Konis btw :D !!

Thanx for all the info... btw I called H&R to know this.. and they didn't know.. they said "Maybe the spring rate is a little different @ the front... but I am not sure @ all.. maybe its a fitting issue" so

 

Could be all 3.

I would email or call the company and ask them the difference on the springs.

 

I did call H&R ... they didn't know.. they thought they might not fit.. that 's all !!
In other wors.. I must know.. what does "stiffer springs" do on your car ?! (higher spring rate)

Okay.. so here's what I was told..
the car will be 100% the same, but might have more aggressive performance and be stiffer... same drop, better control.. is this possible ?!

 

yup.

 

Stiffer springs aren't necessarily going to give you better performance. Your springs should be stiff enough so that your suspension never hits the bump stops. The lower you go, the stiffer the spring to control the weight of the car.

 

But can it affect the amount of drop ?!
