Default H&R sport or race springs!?

I totally cannot decide on which springs I should get. I like the dumped look, but I know my shocks and tires will go out quickly. What do you guys suggest? I know I have talked about these springs already, but I really need some opinions. Thanks! (more pics if anyone has this. BTW I will be on stock shocks for a while).

my H&R race\Koni yellow setup is pretty damn stiff, go with the sports and the yellows.

why go for the "look"

the lower you go the less your tires will be able to turn without rubbing I bet.

Go with the Race and leave them be.....not too low and very functional

i had the neuspeed sports on my teg with stock shocks. the ride was not bad. i dont have anything to compare it to but it wasnt bouncy at all, just felt stiffer. i sold the car and i plan on trying the H&R sports on my new teg. i say get the sports. you can always upgrade your shocks if you dont like how they ride on the stock ones.

Yeah I want to go with the race, but will it kill my stock shocks right away and do you guys think it would rub on 195/60/R14 tires? let me know what you guys think. i wanna get the gsr blade rims eventually, so will rubbing be a problem on those too? thanks for the help!

Race: shitty.

Get the h&r race cup kit. Comes with Koni greys, BASIC the yellows but designed for the race specs.

I have the H&R sport... I love them.... the ride is so tight and I never hit or rub (of course I have 14's but it was perfect for me. Race are not too much lower but I don't need camber kits for this drop...you may need them for the race...

H&R Sport dropped my Teg 3" and they are MUCH too soft. Most Tegs I've seen on H&R Race are just about the same height as my car, but the springs are stiffer, which keeps it from bottoming out. My car bottoms all the time, and it SUCKS.

Better yet, screw H&R and get custom rate Ground Controls and Koni shocks.

ride is great. like i said, it's just a little too low. both wheels are just barely tucked.

here are some pics. it's night time so the pics are all dark and shitty but you can kind of get the idea.


^^^bad side shot. ^^^



^^^front wheel gap. no, my car isnt leaking ****. ^^^



^^^close up of front wheel gap. ^^^


^^^rear wheel gap. yes i know i need a 4 wheel disc conversion. ^^^



^^^close up rear wheel gap. ^^^

hope that helps.
