My original struts were worn out. Since it was time to replace them, I wanted a sportier set-up without the "slammed" look. Also, since the streets fill with water when it rains hard, the last thing I need is to have the car much lower. This combination is a vast improvement- even over the as-new original setup. Cornering is much flatter, wallowing is non-existant, nose-dive and rear-squat have been drastically reduced - all while keeping a decent ride and plently of suspension travel for large bumps/potholes or when the car/trunk is full of people/stuff. Since my Civic is the LX, there is no rear anti-sway bar so I don''t think I''d see the benefit from going lower without making the control arm swap necessary to install a rear sway bar anyway. Overall, I am very pleased with the ride/handling tradeoff this suspension setup provides me for my daily driver. If I was into racing/auto-crossing, then that would be different, but then again, I''d modify a different car if that was the case....

Gave the right hight to the car. corners beautifully on mid and high speed corners. The car still understeers a bit on low speed corners. Just a bit harder than stock springs. The car looks amazing and the ride quality increased a lot. I highly recommend those springs.

H&R advertises that camber adjusters aren''t necessary with these springs but I did not find that to be the case in my instance. After burning thru 6 tires that wore badly on the inside radius I installed Ingalls front and rear camber adjusters. The improvement has been breathtaking. My 2000 Civic Si always handled merely OK after having swapped out all OEM suspension components (2Xstrut tower bars/poly bushings/rear lower control arms w/tie bar/KYB struts/Russell steel brake lines and the H&R springs)but I never got the love I was hoping for until the camber adjusters. Now the car rides on rails. It rolls better, and having put a couple thousand miles on a new set of Goodrich Sport A/S (went with 205/50-15 instead of 195/55) the car is a whole new animal. Always had more motor than suspension; now that there is more suspension than motor I can get in to what I really want to do....I''m very happy with the springs, but the adjusters were the key to the complete setup.
