If you have this set up, please post a pic of your ride. I can't decide whether I'm going to switch to H&R's or groundcontrols.
I'm currently on Eibach Sportlines, which are great. But I want a lower stance. So let's see those H&R lowered cars with 17s.
Thanks!

h&r's are *barely* lower than sportlines, aren't they?

I dunno...I'm happy with the front end drop. But the rear end of my car seems to sit a little higher!? I dunno... still contemplating the switch to different springs.

hmm. aren't eibach's actually lower than the h&rs??? i thought eibachs give u like 1.5-2.0 drop while h&r's give you 1.3-1.5

Hey Smooth!
If you do swap springs again, and want to sell your Eibach's, drop me a line!

It's what happens if you join the Military.

I see the rear sitting a little higher with my H&R's. I'm going to assume the reason for this is: Most spring manufactures use the same application for the coupe and the Si. Maybe the Si carries a little more weight up front causing the front to sit a little lower? Just an assumption on my part.

1.5" and h&r's are lower? so h&r's are like 1.75"? would that be kinda low?

DrPimp. Sorry man but I've decided to save my cash and keep the Eibach springs. I've got too much on the go right now to bother with switching.
Again I apologize for getting your hopes up!

No prob, dude!
The Sportlines give you a good ride, handling etc?

I had my dealership lower the car on the springs, before I even picked it up. And to be honest...I can't for the life of me, remember how much I payed. Sorry man! Just call around see what you come up with.

A'ight.
What dealership do you go to? Do they give good prices on performance stuff? Mine is a small town one, and doesn't offer this service (even though I would rather do the work myself,) but they are cool on modifications with regards to warranty.

DrPimp, I go to London Honda. It's in London Ontario, and yeah, their prices are relatively good. It's usually just a 10% mark-up. At least that's what they told me, so who knows.
London honda website (www.londonhonda.com)
Check out their site...you can probably find an e-mail addy to contact them. Or if you decide to call them.....Ask for Chris Butters. Tell him Rob sent ya!!
