What are some good springs and shocks to get? How is the drop/ride quality on H&R Springs? I've had Eibach Pro-kits on my 99 Prelude on stock shocks and the ride was fine.

Thanks
Well, if you liked the ride quality of the Eibachs, you'll REALLY appreciate the H&Rs. Get the H&Rs if you're considering them. The drop is a bit lower, but you wont be at the point of NEEDING a camber kit (depending upon which struts you match them with). I went the with Tokico blues for the price, and they ride great.
Originally posted by PREYLUDE The Prokits that I had were a 1.3" drop. How much are the H&R's? Do I have to get shocks as well with the H&R's? If so, which ones...Koni yellows?
The H&Rs are suppose to be 1.4", but seem more like 1.5 rear, 1.7 front. Its always recommended to get aftermarket shocks. Koni yellows are sweet if you have the $$ for em. The blues are only 300.
Go on www.tirerack.com and look at the suspension set-up and they say that the pro-kits and koni's don't go good together. I was going to do the same set-up but i am unsure now. I need to call them and find out why they don't recommend it. But check it out your self
Right now I have brand new Ground Control Coilovers. Should I sell these and get some springs and shocks or should I just keep them? If I install the Ground Controls I am going to do a 1" drop. Is it hard to adjust the Ground Controls and would springs be less "bouncier"?
I love my Pro Kits and Kyb's, no regrets at all. i dont have any experience with GC Coilovers but my friend has one , he keeps bottoming out maybe he put it the wrong way????
Mine's kinda low also but no biggie. Mine's probably around 1.5 but i dont have any camber, well maybe a little but not too much to install a camber kit.
The Ground Controls are not installed. Anyone know how the ride will be on stock shocks with a 1" drop or if I should just sell them? I got an offer from someone to trade my Ground Controls for his pro-kits which are brand new and 100 dollars. Is this a good deal or should I just keep my coilovers.
BTW...Is there any difference in Eibach Pro-kits for Base and Type SH
