i have read that the nuespeeds give you a farther drop in the front ... is this true? i want about a 2-2.25 drop... but id rather have a bigger drop in the back than the front. also... how do each of them ride? i dont want a huge drop, but i want a drop for the handling, i dont care too much about the ride. and can somebody please post some pictures of each, if yall have them on your ride. also in the near future will be some rota slips... in the size of 16 inches. thanks in advance.

I got H&R's.
The drop is 2 inches all the way around. The ride is nice and the handling is MUCH improved. I added the Type S sway bar and the car rides on rails even though I'm using stock tires (suprising huh).

I had neuspeed race springs on my EP for a year with stock shocks. Drop was 2.0f/2.25r. The extra drop is in the rear and it's only 1/4" anyways... Car looked perfectly level. I assume the took weight stress/sagging into account when they made them, cause you gotta remember the weight of the engine sits on the fronts.

Anyhoo, ride was great and very tight cornering - it was like slot car racing! :D Anyways you WILL bottom out over a pothole at high speed - but after a year of doing that - honda claims my stock shocks and struts had no damage or leaks or anything wrong. I recently changed my springs because I want to oversize my tires now with my turbo - and this drop will not allow a 225/45/17 tire to fit without rubbing ALOT.

Just remember - if you live in "pot-hole-ville" you WILL need performance shocks to really enjoy the ride and not bottom out as much - but the stockies have been proven to hold up just fine. ;)
