H&R Sport Springs Second Impression
In my first review I found that the h&r sport springs/tokico hp shocks made the car look great and the ride was the exact same as stock, but handling was not improved....
Well after a few weeks things have changed...
1) I got an alignment about a week and a half after I got the combo....after the alignment the HANDLING is significantly better....I can take turns faster and harder without skidding like I used to on almost shot tires that I have now. Also the steering wheel has a TIGHTER feel which I like.
2) the ride is CLOSE to stock, but just a tad more bumpier.
Last thing, how does the h&r sport springs drop affect VSA, sometimes VSA comes on now with no skiddage although I am takign the corners hard.

Youve never had an alignment before...hmmm....well they align the tires correctly so that the car drives straight so there is no pulling left or right....the dealer was $70

Adventurist.
Never got an alignment after your suspension install? 
They adjust caster, toe, and camber in an alignment. The alignment is necessary for proper tire wear, steering wheel centering, among other things. Problems take time, but without an alignment, they will show up sooner that expected. First thing you should notice will be some shitty tire wear.

Got any pics of the car with the springs installed? Would love to see how it looks, I'm thinking about getting the H&R Sports myself. Can't decide between the Sports and the OE's.
