need help with decision by monday, pls respond

I got into a group buy for Neuspeed Sports for 129.00. I paypalled the guy and he said he back ordered the springs which can be sent out by Thursday, no big deal. But, he said he has H&R sports that he can send out now and he won't charge me anything extra. The H&R's according to him, cost more, but he won't charge extra considering the backorder.

He just needs to know before Monday at 100pm.

So you think I should stick with Neuspeed or go with the H&R's for the same price?

129.00

I can give you a link if you'd like.


Thank you for the help,
-Num

Basically, I want a nice comfortable ride. I like lowered cars, but man, I ain't gonna go to the track with this car. The fact that H&R's would eliminate any possibility of camber kits in my future may lure me over.
Anyone know why H&R's are more expensive?

That does not guarantee u won't have camber problems. Yea most people say that u won't have camber problems until 1.5 but they drop more then 1.4 inches over time.

Another thing u should think of is that 5th gen ludes (ones w/ even drop) seem to look lower in the back and the neuspeed springs don't since they are 1.7 front and 1.5 rear.

The ride has been very good and tolerable too Of course aftermarket shocks would be ideal it isn't bad now w/ stock shocks

I personally love the Neuspeeds. But honestly I think that both are basically the same. There is no real hardcore difference between either one. So I say, if you want them faster, go for the H&R's otherwise, stick with the Neuspeeds.

H&R's lower a lot? I thought they lowered less than Nuespeed. That's weird.

U have to email them about the H&R's though. I think he just got lucky and doubt they will give u the same price.

I read that the newer Neuspeed springs aren't made in German, like H &R springs are. They used to be the same springs with different labels. I heard good stuff about H&R, so I'll go with that, instead of Neuspeed. I think neuspeed springs are made by some big, unknown OEM spring manufacturer now. I'm getting H&R springs.

i have prokits right now, but if i was in your position, i would get the H&R only because then i'd get them sooner. The H&R and neuspeeds are basically identical, so it depends on which name you would like to sport H&R my .02 cents

I've had my Neuspeed Sport springs for a year now and they're great. The ride is still very smooth and not bouncy at all. I only put the fronts on the middle perch so its about a 1" or so drop from stock and looks very nice =] If you're in a hurry to get them, I'm sure you won't regret getting the H&R's. I've heard nothing but praise from both companies, so you can't go wrong =]
