H&R doesn't sell shocks, except for what comes with their coilovers, and I doubt they manufacture those.

H&R Sport springs are junk, they drop the car too much and aren't stiff enough for the amount of drop.

If H&R springs are not good, what spring would you guys recommend? Thanks.

I have mine dropped on H&R sports paired w/ koni yellows and skunk2 camber kits. It might be the fact that I travel on really well kept roads, but I love the ride. The shocks play a big part in the the comfort of the ride.

I drive on really bad roads and the ride sucks. I really think stiffer springs will make it better since the car won't be able to bounce as much.

I have Sports and AGXs. The ride is really smooth for me, and it handles pretty good.

I don't know, you will probably get about the same drop but a softer spring, which is not good when you have reduced suspension travel.

i got H&R sport also, but I got the ITR spec ones with 360/320 spring rates.. they're alright, much better than the 276/276 I presume.
