i think another member by picco****(????) has tanabe on his sedan... he hates them cause of how the drop is.. the rear is lower then the front, thats why i only recommend neuspeeds. most if not all springs on a sedan will be lower in the rear

Rep Power: 0 was getting a good deal on H&R's but if the rear is going to sag I guess I better stay away from them[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 416 how much of a good deal?
well familyman (not here anymore) had h&r springs on his sedan.. the rear was sagging so he used 'spacers' in the back. it costs $16 for two..
go here and its part # 12. when installing the springs, he put it in between part 13 and 9. it gave him an even drop.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for the advice. I'm getting a good deal on the H7R's $350 installed CDN so thats about $200 US? not bad at all will the spacers hold up? I don't want the car to be unsafe when I'm going 100 and the springs come of the perch.

Rep Power: 416 isnt 350 more like 230? cause the exchange rate is 1.5:1
why not just go with neuspeed sports? i got mine for $210 installed. maybe you could find it for that price there?
if you still decide to go with h&rs ya the spacers should hold up, they're going to be bolted down along with the whole rear strut so..

Rep Power: 416 i dont think anyone has spacers here... do you have a sedan? sprint springs even used to sag on coupes.. they released a "fixed" version i believe. if you have the old sprint springs on a sedan, i would suggest you get new springs.. i think the spacers only lifted the car 1/4". i know it wasnt anymore then 1/2". adding 2 might be risky cause it might not allow things to align right. if you have dead coils(coils that sit ontop of each other when on the car) up in the front then you could also cut one of the coils. of course this will cause the front to drop about 1/3".

Rep Power: 0 yup its a sedan and i have the new sprints. my front is ok, im concerned about the rear.
no dead coils at the back and i'm fine with the drop. i'll install my spacers (from hondaautomotiveparts.com) this weekend and i'll let you guys know how it went
