Sport is lower. OE give a more "even" look to the hideous stock setup (about a .75" drop all around), BUT keeps the drop very conservative.

The Sports give a nice even, BUT lower drop.

Here is my car with H&R Sports:

No rubbing or scraping. The handling is worlds better over stock.

I would not suggest using stock shocks with any aftermarket springs, they will give out, plus the ride quality is bad.

hey NiteQwill, I like the RJ rims and painted calipers. Something about the rims, it makes your car look even lower, they also look like the fill the wheel well better too.

What shocks did you go with and have you needed a camber kit since the install?

Actually there are 3 different ones that people have used. It's easier to identify them by their stock number than by their name. These are the different H&R Springs:

H&R OE SPORT #51858 <--- originally made for the Accord, but fits our cars, and gives it the even drop without the rake look.

H&R SPORT #51858-88 <--- lowest drop, not many use these, I think because it may require a camber kit, so at this point people usually go with coilovers instead.

H&R OE SPORT #50103 <--- The CL version of the 51858's, made specifically for our car, and not the Accord. These drop the same but retain the subtle rake that the car has at stock.

Please help. I am curious about where you can buy the 50103's. I can't seem to find them anywhere. All I can find is the 51858's. Any Suggestions? Thanks
