does the front look even to the rear? don't want to buy any springs thats gonna make the car look higher in the rear and lower in the front. Just looking moderate drop and close to stock ride. I done research and H & Rs seem the most suitable. Whos got these, ne pictures, and what gas shocks? (KYG adjustable?)

 

up

 

you want H&R OE

 

yes oe, the ... 1.5-1.7 drop

 

H&R's make your car sit funny after about 6 months, you would be better off going with a coilover setup

 

H&R springs KYB AGX struts good setup. i have some pics if u want to see how the car sits... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=676002

 

the car doesnt sit funny after sit funny after 6 months. my friend has had his H&R springs on his corrado for over a year and it looks fine

 

H&R Sport springs gave my car less than 1 finger gap in front, but 2 finger gap in back. Luckily I was able to put my Koni shocks on the lowest perch in back to even it out, but even on the highest perch in front it's a 3" drop.

The H&R OE springs will not give you that much of a drop........here are the specs for H&R springs......

H&R OE Springs
Front/Real
Drop: 0.75" 0.75"
Spring Rate: 276 lb/in 220 lb/in

H&R Sport Springs
Front/Rear

Spring Rate: 276 lb/in 276 lb/in

H&R Race Springs

Patrick how did you measure to see how much it was dropped? I have about 1 or 2 finger gap and Im dropped 1.5 all the way around on H&R coilovers and they are set to highest it can go.

I measured from hub-centric part of rim to the middle of the arc on the fender and its 12.5 inches and stock was 14 inches.

My springs started out 2.0 f and 1.75 r but after a year of driving it more like 2.75 f and 2.50 r.They sagg like crazy and I need to change them out.

15-12.5 = 2.5"

I parked next to a stock GS-R of the same year and compared hub-to-fender measurements, and I also measured the overall height of my car and compared that to the spec given in the Helm's manual, and both indicated a drop of about 3" with my H&R Sports.

Here's what my drop looks like right now:

 

I've never had good experiences with H&R.

 

my teg on H&R springs!

 

your car is supposed to be lower in the front than in the back....

 

...front H&R Race springs...stock rear, lol...

 

who's got experience w/the HR race?? i'm liking those spring rates and drop..

i've been on HR sports for over 2 years.. and have never had sagging problems of any sort. like patrick, i was left with a 1 finger gap up front and 2 finger gap in the rear. and to me (maybe i'm just used to them) they seem too soft. i was gonna get gc 450/350 but the race springs are pretty close to that and have the extra drop i want as well...

WTF..... my car looks like it has that kind of drop and I have the sport springs. I think something fucked up in my suspension. Maybe it came off the perch or something.

 

I installed the rears this morning. In the rear I can fit barely two fingers between the tire and fender, in the front I can barely fit one. With Tokico Illuminas it rides nice, no bouncing, etc...I was surprised it rides as nice as it does for having such a stiff rate(460/350). I'll upload new pics in the morning.

 

not bad

 

dont you guys know that a little bit of positive wedge is a good thing

 

Patrick I meant to say stock height is 14 inches. Im going to edit post.
