Neuspeed or H&R????

what do you guys think? I want the 1.75f/1.5r drop, and both neuspeed sport and H&R sport do that at about the same price. But do you guys know which one is better for the suspension and ride quality? If anyone has any of these springs, can you give me some feedback on them? thanks.

If you can get the H&R's for about the same price as Neuspeed, I'd say go with them. Neuspeed is still good, but I would go with H&R.

h&r and neuspeed are the same springs, but different manufacturers. H&R are a little cheaper and are good. I have them on my car.

I called H&R and the sport springs are only available at a 1.3 all around drop. you might want to give them a call and check that out.

Do you have a 4 door EX? If so, H&R doesn't make springs that work with your car. It's a matter of personal preference. Check out their websites and see what you think. My pick is H&R. Good Luck

ya i think h&r's are only 1.3... my vote too would also go for NEUSPEED. as for price, aren't they actually the same? neuspeeds even being cheaper? got mine(neuspeed) for $140. only thing is they aren't low enough, the ride is great tho. have yet to scrape anything

i'm not sure about how the drop would be on a sedan(with race).. the back might be slightly lower. if i had a sedan i would go with neupseed sports(make sure its the 4 door version). i had neuspeed sports for 4 door on my coupe and the back was really high, now i got the 2 door and the drop is even all around. so ya i'm sure the 4 door sports would be perfect for a sedan

I'm telling you: if you have a 4 Dr EX Sedan then H&R doesn't make a product for your car. I have H&R on mine and I had to make a spacer to jack my rear up a 1/4" otherwise it looked droopy. For a sedan I would recommend something other than H&R, even though I am completely happy with mine.

i know the sports would give a nice drop on a sedan but its not low enough, the race is pretty low but again not sure if the back would sag, maybe only sure thing is coilovers?

<< how did you make a spacer? >>



VNlilMAN: go to this LINK and look at part #12. It is a rubber washer with a lip that cups up. I cut off the lip with shears and ground the residual down flat with the washer and mounted it between part #13 and #9. Worked for me. No impact on ride quality that I can tell. The width is a bit less than 1/4" and the part cost around $6.00.

damn familyman, thats gangsta(in other words, i'm impressed on how you solved it)...

sumama, go with neuspeed. i have neuspeed sports, its not low enough(about 2 finger gap on all sides) but it rides nice and dont have to worry too much about scraping... i would go with race but i heard the ride quality wasnt as great.
