Springs will be installed...

... on Friday at 9 AM. I'm getting H&R Sports. I can't wait. I'll make sure to post pics of before and after with measurements.

My car is going to look and handle great!

I ordered my H&R sports springs (stage 2) too. Just waiting for them to get in and have them installed. But now I'm wondering if I should just go with NEX coilovers when it's going to cost me about the same for springs and shocks. Speaking of which, after getting my springs installed on the stock springs, how long should i wait before getting new shocks? And how would you compare ride quality between H&R and Eibachs? I'm getting H&R for sure, bu just out of curiosity. I'm hearing different things. Thanks.

Oh yeah, my mechanic said that by installing the Koni yellows alone will lower the car about an inch since it has an adjustable perch. Is this true? So, if he's right, then with Koni yellows and H&R sports, the total drop would be 2.75" ? Is that correct?

I don't think that is correct. The koni adjustable shocks will not adjust the ride height. It will only adjust the ride quality (stiff vs. soft). The way the shocks are installed, doesn't allow for the height to be adjusted. Do a search for koni and you will find plenty of info about this topic.

Thnks Sid. So how did you decide on H&R as opposed to the other brands? Are you getting shocks at the same time or are you holding off on those till your stock ones blow out?

I decided on the H&R Sports because I wanted to go lower than the Comptechs and I saw some pics of a CL-S with the H&R Sports and it looked like the car was meant to look. The wheels fit perfectly under the wheel wells.

I am holding off on shocks for now. It depends on the ride quality with the stock shocks. If it is too stiff, I may go for the shocks before the stocks blow out.

Aren't they the same as your springs?
