I don't have any pictures , but i put H&R OE sport Spring on my 1996 Accord 4dr Dx in October 2003. And they Look good ,the car only drops 3/4" so the stance is a little lower than stock, Handling is like an Acura Integra now ,a bit firm but the handling is greatly improved over stock springs . I bought mine at TireRack.com for $157.00 or so . Car looks and handles great , you just have to be carefull parking into curbs etc car is low and Hits the bottom of front bumper . So far the best aftermarket part i put on car for the money IT HANDLES GREAT NOW FOR STREET.

No .75 is the drop almost the same as stock ride height. It works out good for the STREET . Now if i had a 2003 EX V6 6spd Coupe i might get a bit more radical Hopefully in a year or two i'll get one . My first HONDA was a Brand new 1976 Civic CVCC 5 spd cost $3,189.00 i tried for about 6 months to get an ACCORD 1976 cvcc for $3,995.00 but the waiting lists at the dealers was over a year . So i bought the Civic i needed the car, what a great JAPANESE built car, what quaility on a car so inexpensive.

I'd opt for the h&r sports, unless you can get OE's with neuspeed yellows, and then drop the spring perch down a few notches

My buddy had the Sport and he said after a year the spring compressed a bit more and it ended up giving him like a 2' drop.
So I figured the .75 would eventually get to like an 1' or so.

You have to use the ORIGINAL HONDA BUMPSTOP from the Honda shock with the H&R OE SPRING thats the way the spring is designed to work . This keeps the spring ride height at 3/4" drop.

No scraping or bottoming out problems at all! Clearence is great for street , going up and down driveways over speedbumps etc. Springs are a great blend of performance and practicality for thr REAL WORLD DRIVING.

Good choice just make sure you read all the special instructions with the H&R Springs . They make you put the stock bumpstops on new shocks for all Honda and Acura applications. I put Bilstien Heavy Duty monotubes and called H&R and they said i had to take stock bumpstop off old shocks and put them on new Bilstien HD shocks. Thats the way H&R Springs are designed to work. They give you an 800 number with installation instructions.
