H&R OEsports will lower about .75"-1" and are great springs

I know you didn't ask for opinions on this, but I have to ask?
Why would you drop the car no more than 1"?
You're talking less than a Pro-kit drop which I have heard does not even look lowered. Hell, I even have people tell me I need to drop my car and it's on Neuspeed Sports.
Not trying to start a flame war just curious. I mean will the car handle any better if at all with that kind of drop

Don't worry - I don't get insulted easily.LX98Civic said:Not trying to start a flame war just curious. I mean will the car handle any better if at all with that kind of drop
I don't really want the car to *look* dropped.
I just want to reduce the amount of visible clearance from the top of the tire to the wheel well.
This is a very subtle difference. It is inteded to make the car have a slightly "meaner" rake, not to "drop" it.
Dropping .75 - 1" is exactly what I want. Something almost imperceptible. You'd look at the car and notice that something was different, but would have to ask "What did you do to that?"
I centrainly do not want to have my tires INSIDE the wheel well when the car is at rest. I do want a little but of clearance there, but not a lot.

Anybody got pics of the .75" drop vs the 1.6" drop?
I'll post pics of my car when I borrow my friends digicam
Yeah, that is correct. I have people ask me all the time with my Neuspeed Sports94honda said:
I wish we could get the FAQ back up that explained each spring and what kind of drop you get from each
Some of us have potholes and bumps and shit to deal with on the road. Some of us don't like the way a big drop looks.
The people telling you that are stupid, and for some bizarre reason, they think it looks good when the wheels start getting tucked into the wheelwells. That's a showcar thing. No car on the road or on a track should look like that.
You've got some misconceptions about lowering springs, bub. Most of the handling benefits come from the increased spring rates, not the lower ride height. Lower center of gravity does help handling, but not as much as you'd think.
Read some magazines that are about performance, not looks. It is RARE when they will lower their project cars that much. Sport Compact Car is one such magazine. Import Tuner is not.
A general guideline: If there is a girl on the cover, or any article that isn't about a car show, it's not a reputable mag.
Lowering a car too much actually HURTS handling more than it helps. You start losing wheel travel, and if you hit a bump or a pothole on a curve, and run out of suspension travel YOU BE FUCKED.
i think it should be up to how stiff/unstiff you want the ride to be, what you are looking for out of the suspension to be the first things determining spring choice, and then how much wheelgap you want to eliminate as the last choice.
all springs listed are certainly very good springs, but they are all different in their own ways....its up to you want you want, were just here to assist you in your decision when you ask
