Default Thinking about buying H&R Race Springs...Good idea?

I think the amount of lowering would be perfect, but how do these springs ride? I had a set of H&R sports on my old car and they rode good, but I dunno about the race setup. Are they real stiff or do they give a decent ride for an everyday driver? I was also looking at Intrax springs that lower it 2.0" or about the same as the race springs...how do they compare? Also I am eventually gonna get a set of 18's and would like to run 40's if possible...is this possible with the race setup?

if you have a 4th gen, i can sell you a set used for 4 months...nothing wrong with them at all i just cant afford shocks to go with them right now

they are really great springs...if you want to lower your car a lot, these are the best springs you can buy

the race springs will give you a stiffer ride. whether u can handle it or not is up to you. i dont think most people would be able to handle it on a daily basis. i, however, am perfectly fine with it (im on stiffest on tein SS). i think if you get the race springs and want a smoother ride, make sure you get some good shocks to go with it (i dont think kyb would be up to par to be able to give you comfort over the spring stiffness)
