How are H&R Springs?

I'm looking at getting either a set of Neuspeed Sports or H&R springs for my 01 EX coupe. I don't want to lower a LOT, but would like a little more drop than a ProKit. I could get a good deal on the H&Rs, but I'm not really sure how they stack up.

Buy the h&r's from me!!! LOL

I have to disagree about the lowering however. The pro-kit only drops like an inch or so. H&r's drop at least 1.5". The front is listed at 1.75" and the rear is 1.5" and the drop on my car was that much, if not a little more.

prokit lists like a .8" drop but people reported like a 1.2-1.3 inch drop
h&r lists 1.3 and people reported 1.3-1.4" drop. the h&r race drops 1.75" but have been discontinued
neuspeed sports/eibachs drop around 1.6-1.8"
find someone with those springs and compare. keep in mind tire size can make a big difference in appearance

for me
1) neuspeed
2) goldlines
3) eibach (#3 cause they're way overpriced)
4) h&r
they all are great springs tho

I'm not all about dropping the car more than 1.5 anyway... if you guys saw my driveway, you would understand. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] We'll see how it goes, if I don't like em, I'll just get something else.

i have H&R sports, 1.3 drop. currently i also have 17x7 wheels with 215/45/17 tires. my rear have less then one finger gap and my front has one finger gap. its the subwoofer box that made my car lower in the rear or that i have no rear camber kit... oh yeah.. i also have the ingalls front camber kit. the car rides smililar to stock. i have many complements on the ride quality. some say it feels like stock.

when i had my alignment done, my front was perfect.. .01 degree and the rear is 1 degree negative camber.

Where does everyone get the wrong information on the specifications for the H&R springs. The "Stage 2, sport springs" lower the 7th Gen civic front- 1.75", rear- 1.5" part # 51866. The "Stage 3, race springs lower the 7th Gen civic front- 2.3", rear- 1.75" part # 51866.88. Now spread the word. This is the facts, via the H&R catalog, if you don't believe me call them- 1-888-827-8881.
