Default how to identify H&R springs?

I bought a set of that were claimed to be H&R springs. However, when I was doing some research, I see that they came in black and red and had H&R written on the top line and some numbers on the coil directly underneath. The springs I received were gunmetal in color and had two sets of part numbers (like the H&R) but did not have the "H&R" written on them. All the H&R springs have "H&R" written on them, correct?

I have a set of Eibach pro and sports for my Integra. I'm currently running on the Sportlines and the drop looks nice and the car handles okay. Anyone have pics of their Integra with the Eibach pro springs?

I checked the springs again, the part number is 29863. I checked on H&R site and the number does not match. Instead of where the "H&R" should be, there is "KBA".

Sounds like you got ripped. Take them back to wherever you got them if you can. My H&R Sports are very dark blue, nearly black, with white lettering. Ouch if you got jipped.

^^^ Absolutely correct, even w/ my Koni yellows I think they suck

and no I don't have a camber kit, I'm somewhere around -2.5 deg. in front.

they should be dark blue like others said....

my g/f has them on her '03 Jetta GLI (VR6 w/ 6 speed). drop was like 1.5-1.6...looks perfect and the ride quality is excellent, still on stock shocks. the VR6's shocks are already stiffer than what you can get aftermarket for the 2.0's and 1.8T's....which helps the ride..

but for the integra....i've heard the same shittyness about them. my friend has them on his '98 LS and he HATES them with a passion. so bouncy and soft.
