which H&R springs are you talking about? I have the Sports and they are crap, even with Koni Sport yellow shocks. They dropped my car 3" and are way too soft for that much drop. I hope to get koni Ground Controls w/ 350F/400R spring rates.

hah I'd like to know the same, look at the difference here:
yes I have Koni Sport shocks, stock perch height in front, lowest in back (only to even it out front to back) but the rears only account for about 5/8" extra drop.
I measured from the edge of the fender to the center of the wheel on both cars. I also measured the overall height of my car and compared it to the spec in the Hayne's manual (52.4" is spec I believe, mine's at 49.3").

Oh you mean OE's, yeah GR-2's should be fine with that, but I would probably go with Tokico Premiums (blue) over the GR-2's.

Just had my h&r sport shocks w/ koni yellows and skunk2. I like the setup. They only other setup I can compare to was w/ my accord w/ eibach sports and stock shocks.
My drop was a little lower in the front, so it sits pretty even all around.

Check sig. I'm happy with my set up.
I don't know how that guys car dropped 3".
The KYB's are easily adjustable, 4 way and dropped my car nice. 1.7 and 1.5 (I think) with H & R sports.
I'd save for KYB AGX's if I was you.

Re: Whats shocks with H & R Springs? (GSRdriver)
i had h&r race with koni yellow shocks on the middle perches on my teg.
It slammed my teg to about a 1/2-3/4" tuck all around.
I had to put it on the top perches of my koni's all around just to get about a lil less than finger gap (1/3 inch).
