our car has a 2.5 inch gap and I would like to remove about 1 inch of it. with the tire size we run we do get occasional scrubage(225-50-17). my concern is more for performance with a good ride then looks.

the options I have come up with are.

h-tech tokico 1.3 .7 i beleive

progress springs tokiko 1.3-1.1

skunk2 1.3-1.3

Koni Adjustables lowest perch

I did some searching for skunk2 pics and I found no threads for the progress springs. the progress springs look to be just alittle stiffer then the h techs.

I'm really leaning towards the progress springs to match their sway bar with tokico's or the Koni's with the prgress sway bar. Also considering skunk2 springs but saw a post saying they were to soft which I suspect I would like.

opinions/thoughts?

I really like my Tein H-tech and Tokico blues. Nice ride, not too much firmer than stock when just crusising, but coupled with the Comptech RSB, the corners are a great place to be.

Drop on the H-tech's is 1.1" front and 0.7" rear, giving a very equal gap all around. I'm on 225/45-17 and have no rubbing at all.

This was my car with the 215/50-17 (OEM) size, on the Tein H-tech's:

that's almost exactly the options i'm looking at right now. if i had to throw in another option tho, it'd be the a-spec suspension.

they all have the right amount of drop and look i want as well as the right amount of handling (comptech or progress rsb will also be purchased) for a daily driver... a-spec might be a little high but i've been researching getting the mt version (i have at) that'll supposedly drop the front a bit more... the answer i can't seem to get is how that affects handling.

marcus said both the progress and skunk2 springs are solid springs.

i'm not quite close to pulling the trigger on any purchase just yet but i'm debating about going with aftermarket springs/oem shocks, aftermarket springs and shocks, or coilovers like basics or skunk2...

so many choices!!! argh!!!

I know myself and Shy have this same setup expect with Progress RSBs. We are both pleased with the results as well.

Yup, running HTechs with Tokicos and a Progress RSB. Very pleased with the results, we were originally running stock shocks with the HTechs and this setup is night and day compared to the stock setup.

Ride quality is good with the HTechs + Tokicos combo and handling is great.

Yeah I was running the H-tech's on stock shocks and the ride was bouncy. Put on the Tokico's and it was MUCH improved.

I am running Tokico blues and s-tech, looks good and drives really well. 225/45/17 tires with no rubbing also. link to my pics on here https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-photograph-gallery-127/finally-some-pics-742225/

neuspeed's koni and neuspeed springs + comptech/ct engineering RSB is also a good combo. This is what i'm running and i love it. the fact that the nuespeed koni has dampining adjustment is stellar! you can stiffen up your ride or soften your ride by a turn of a knob. plus, it has 5 perches for height adjustment.
