It isn't worth it. You will need to drill out your front knuckle to 16mm or they may slip camber. You also will need larger tie rod ends. I also am not sure the H&Rs need to reuse the stock upper mount. If so, then you will probably have to get DC5 upper mounts.

Stick with Koni/GC or Tein SS-P IMO.

I am not sure what they come with stock, but you can ask for any spring rate from GC.

because they are generic crap and want people to buy regardless of fit.

F&F, sure because people have only had them for about less than a year. They come from teh same factory as omni and everyone knows that story now.

im riding on koni yellows + eibach sportlines (1.4" drop but it looks to be a little more). comming from skunk2 coilovers, these springs give a much more ride comfort and a nice drop. i drive in california roads (bay area) and they are considered comfort to me considering i was on skank2 coilovers.
