I have them on my car. For just street duty they are pretty decent if you get them for a good price. They are pretty soft. No need for big dollar suspension on the street.

How are you measuring the "improvement"? Better skidpad G's? Better track times? Faster slalom time?

Or did they just feel better to you?

If it's the last one, then it's completely understandable that someone else thought the stock shocks felt better.

I think what I meant is they were an improvement to me... the last one. I liked that I could lower my car and keep a R suspension type ride. That is all...
Its a good street set up

I agree that it's a nice setup for the street. It's just that there's much more of an improvement over something like a civic or non-R integra than it is for the ITR.

It's been selling for pretty cheap lately.

Yup, it's a very good street setup.

We're on our very last one at the close out price of $610 shipped

you can raise and lower your car with the WS.. I liked that for winter. plus the damper and spring were meant for each other... the only thing you would have to do is set the disired height.
H&R set would have to be kept the way it is.
&lt;-----Has no experience with the H&R set up.. just stating the obvious.

i had the worldsports on my 00 si, and now have h&r race with koni yellows on my 01 gsr. not completley the same for comparisons sake, but I'll tell you what I think of both.

Worldsports: I had this car absolutely slammed and it rode awesome. It's nice that the spring and shock were matched for each other. It rode very comfortably and for a street car (what this was) I can't think of anything better other than maybe the H&r coilover setup which costs a lot more.

H&R: harsh on the street. Handles better on a good road, but the tradeoff is not worth it. Looks great, and is a good quality spring (and of course koni's kick ***) but it is just not a good street setup. I paid 900 for my worldsports 2 years ago, so this is a pretty good deal for 610 or whatever. Are they being discontinued?

Another thing that concerned me when I had the apexi's is whether or not they could be rebuilt within the US or not? anyone know?
