I currently have H&R race springs with koni yellow shocks and wanna do something about my problems that come with lowering so i was thinking of going to H&R sports, but i've heard that there isn't a significant difference is that true??

Which 'problems that come with lowering' are you referring to?

well i think i broke a front swaybar once from hitting a pot hole cuz im in chicago because of how low it is and also in the back my left tire is being eating .. and ive been trying to read about camber kits but i dont understand it too much and keep reading that it knocks i mean the drop is pretty dam low 2.25 in the front and 1.75 in the back

Why don't you just get adjustable coilovers?

IIRC H&R sports were 1.25 " drop.

If you're really on a budget, Toms racing has some GC knockoffs that perform just as well for like $100.

coilovers?? isnt that really cheap lol that would be awesome if they are good quality are they?

petern101 · 04-25-2009, 10:13 PM

They are probably good enough since they were on a race civic that had high spring rates then I took them and put 450lb springs on them and drove that around for a year with events and such.
