Here is a shot right after i got my Type-S rims. I will dig up my old shots with just stock rims and post for you. I have H&R OE Sports. Lowered about 1-1.5".

Here is another perspective:

Those are Sport springs? Your car looks as low as my H&R OE springs.

Slvr- They ARE OE Sports (51858-55), just like yours. (spec drop of .5&.75" but actually about .5 more than that) The Sports are even lower. I have no ground clearance issues at all in normal driving, even with my rims and tires which lower the car an added 1" of so. Thats with people in the car too!** Steep driveways and speedbumps as high as curbs are the only things I am careful around.
Had my springs installed a while back, so i cannot remember how much it was. Whatever it cost, it was well worth the investment. Buy from Tim if you get them though, its a great price!~ed

yeah, it says F.5 and R.75, but it's even lower than the specs???
The Sports springs are supposed to be 1" lower than the OE Sports... I think I'll go with thr Sports springs and screw the snow...

Question

How stiff is the H&R's compared to OEM? How about compared to the Comptech, which is 15% compared to the stock.

thanks

Yeah, I measured mine unscientifically... and it looks like it lowered about 1" all the way around.

urgen
I'm not sure the %.. but it feels about the same as stock or slightly stiffer. It is very comfortable though.

sorry about the large pic. If a moderator knows how to reduce it, I'd be grateful. I'll try and use smaller sized pics, but my camera always shoots at that size and I forget to photosop every shot before posting online.~ed
