Eibach,Tein, or H&R

hey, I have a 2004 EX coupe with 17 in. Enkei RPM2 with 215/45/17 Tires and i want to lower my car with springs. I have made up my mind between Eibach Sprtlines, Tein S-Tech, or H&R Sports. Im going to use the springs with my stock shocks. I know the ride is not going to be the same but what springs would give me the best ride quality out of the three? Also would i rub with my size tire?

Thanks

You might rub with that size depending on your wheel offset. Having a heavy load in the rear like a huge sub box doesnt help either.

I agree. The S.tech will be a good ride/stance and the best bang for the buck. Contact me if you have any questions.

I have an '04 and initially had H&R Sport springs installed. I really liked them and would recommend them to you. I now have KW coilovers and would highly recommend these to you if you have the extra cash.

By the way, you will have to get a rear camber kit when you lower ya '04. I spent the extra money and got the Hotchkis rear camber kit. It rocks!

And, for your fronts, the camber will be slightly off but not enough to warrant a camber kit. If you go to a really good alignment shop, they will know how to slightly bore out the holes where the bolts go to bring the camber into alignment.
