I have never been so happy with any other product I''ve bought my car lowered ~~3 inches in the front and ~~1.5 in the back. the ride isn''t bumpy or rough at all. By far the best springs you can buy. Don''t hesitate!

The car that the suspension components are on is a track only car.

- The drop in height was not as expected, to the point that the back was about 1" higher than the front. Most likely the reason for the false height is that H&R s height expectations are based on a street car and not a stripped out track car.

- While the springs are stiff when static, there is a considerable amount of body roll when on track. These spring are labeled wrong and are not "Race Springs" as they are far too light for the weight of a front engine car on the track

- The Koni s seam ok, however, in order to adjust them, they have to be removed from the car.

- I find that between the H&R Race Springs and the Eibach antiroll bars that the car pitches and rolls far more than a track car should.



Overall, I would not recommend purchasing these components if you plan on taking your car anywhere near a track.

I purchased a used Integra with 130k miles on it that already had Skunk2 sleeved coilovers with Tokico blue struts on the front and Koni Reds on the rears. The ride on those sleeves were horrible. I still wanted a low drop and decided to go with race springs. I opted for the H&R due to there high rep. After installation, I immediately noticed a better ride quality on city streets going over dips, tar snakes, just driving on rough roads. As far harsh highway roads go, it was slightly better. I wish the drop were more low in the front as it had that "sag" look on the rear. With 195/55/15 tires, I was tucking in the rear with half inch gap up front. I wouldn''t recommend these springs for daily driving or commute purposes. These are for drivers who are willing to sacrifice comfort to gain a better setup for the weekend autocross/track days. My commute is short, therefore these springs achieved my expectations. If you want a low drop without the super stiff ride, research into Ground Control coilovers with lower spring rates (stock rates).
