Spring and Shock Advice

I was having a little trouble fining a solution for my unique suspension questions.
I have a '04 TSX stock suspension right now.
The offset of the rims i have don't allow the wheels to enter the wheel well but i want a slightly lower look well better handling. I also want a near stock/smooth riding suspension.
I was looking at getting H&R OE Sport Springs with Koni Sport Dampers.
Its my understanding that the Konis CAN lower the car an additional .75" but i don't know if i could afford that much lowering.
Any different combinations of spring and shocks or any advice would be appreciated.

Nice colour.

You may want to consider a Neuspeed Supercup Kit. Koni shocks with Eibach springs for a 1.5"/1" drop. You could also drop it further with the lower perches (.83" more drop). It's a great deal too - the springs are practically free.

Tein springs tend to have a good rep for ride quality as well.

Have you checked out the a-spec suspension? I think it's a minor drop but still does quite the work.

The H&R OE Sport and KONI shocks would definitely be a good combination. You could also get the TEIN Street Advance and set the damping on soft. Both of those setups would improve handling and maintain ride comfort.

Awesome advice, also what about camber? With a .75/.50" drop will i need to buy a camber kit to compensate or will my stock suspension be able to adjust far enough for correct camber?

The TSX has negative rear camber from the factory so an INGALLS rear camber/toe kit would offset that negative camber.

A qty of 2 is needed.
