Like the title says, I ordered the Sports H&R Springs. I was wondering if they're good or not. Do they bounce alot? Are they stiff? Let me know anything about these springs. THanks!

 

Yeah, they're good.

 

yeah they're good , i got them. you might wanna get new shocks too. i got tokico illuminas with mine. it's stiff when i want it to be.

 

I just got OE Sports. I have to say they lowered more than spec-ed (spec is .75" all around, my car is down at least an inch all around but probably more). They handle really well, and get rid of the rally look without making my car look "slammed". I have them on KYB AGX shocks (recommend you change shocks if you get new springs, that way you don't have the work done twice and it's a better match). Also, while you're in there, get the ITR rear swaybar and a BSQ or Beaks mounting kit for it. I can't believe what it's done to my car, just a simple piece of metal makes a HUGE difference.

One more reason to do it all at once, at least for me...my car has definitely been driven in the winter before I got it, and while the body is great, apparently Acura doesn't put anti-sieze compound in any of the bolts. I had to have all the bolts on my control arms torched out, and new ones put in (this time with anti-sieze). I had to have the swaybar bolts notched, and then removed with penetrating oil and an air hammer. My wallet will be hurting for awhile, but I'm glad I didn't try to do it myself this time.

hehe...too late isnt it!!

 

I love mine, except they lower the front more than the back. I wish the front was as high as the back is.

Oh well, too much effort to change them now. At least the ride is smooth

i've been holding off lowering my car till now cuz I was scared of scraping my car. That's why I got the sports (1.5 in.). But now I really want to lower it, because it looks kind of akward with my OEM Body kit on without it being lowered.

And i heard it'll jack my stock shocks up after about a year with springs. I orderd my springs first, but I'll probably get KYB shocks in about a month or two. damn i need money. I've been spending all my money on FOOD! Damn they cost alot!

 

Sports drop probably 2 in in the front and 1.5-1.75 in the rear. I swear they are lower than they rate them. Maybe it is just my 17" wheels (rice, getting replaced with some rota slipstreams when I get rich)

i got em as well. its not that slammed looking so its cool.
hey lone wolf I have the exact same setup as yours. neat.

Mix em in w/ some koni yellows and you got a pro setup suspension

 

H&R are nice, so are APEX and EIBACH....if u got 17's 1.5 in drop all you want plus get either Bilsteins, KONI, TOKICO, KYB AGX...thats in order of best....

 

I got 'em with koni yellows. on the front shocks i set the spring perch 1 notch higher.. the drop is even now. it's more like 1.5" all around.. although i can still fit a finger or two in the fender gaps, i could lower it if i want. but the ride quality is great now that i've raised the fronts up about a quarter inch. my CD player doesn't skip over bumps anymore

Oh yeah you might hear some squeaking from the dead coils.. install some rubber isolators on them when you put in the springs, they helped for me (thanks instantramen)
