H&R OE Sport springs Question

Hi,

I have an '03 CL-S, and want to lower my car only about .75" in the back and 1" in the front, similar to what I've read with the H&R OE sport springs.

Can somebody tell me if these springs are the right choice for my car? If not, what are my options to get that kind of drop?

Thanks!
Brian

no the claimed drop is not what you get..i have them it's 1.25-1.40 REAR and 1.0 front it does look good though .for you i recomend killing two birds with one stone. the koni yellows allow for a 1.0 front and .75 rear drop by changing the spring perch position and you can keep your o.e. springs and have adj. shock rebound and damping ...

So with the Koni's I can keep my stock springs and adjust the car height as I wish?

Are any other adjustable struts as good?

Thanks again,
Brian

You can only adjust 0.5 inch down.

there are more than one model koni ..2 of which sp1 and sp3 can lower the car 1.0/.75 the sp3's i.e. neuspeed konis can also raise the car the same height and in addition there are 2 intermediate settings both up and down...for example ..perhaps you want the spring rate of the H&R sports but dont want the 1.75 drop...you can raise it some....
