Anyone has HR Sports Springs and Stock Shocks combo? How low is the drop initially, How low is the drop after several weeks? Any performance degradation on the shocks? Did the shocks wear out faster?

I am (still) thinking of HR Sports Springs. Thanks

Anyone?

Answers :

1. Plenty of people with this combo. Results are mixed. It may be that some people are just more tolerant of bounciness.

2. There are two H&R sports. The new ones 50103 are better suited to the TL/TLS than the older accord ones.

3. My recommendation would be to get some tokico blue's at the same time to save installation costs.

In what way? Why?

Thanks.

The Accord weight distribution is different so H&R accord springs end up lowering the back more than spec on TLS.

The new H&R sport 50103 is designed specifically for the TL/TLS and will give a more even drop.

Some speculate that they took the H&R sport front and mated it with the H&R OE rear.

That would make sense since many report that Comptech Front with H&R oe rear is a perfect drop.

i think the new ones comes with sports in the front and OEs in the rear. makes it look liek a raked comptech drop.. older ones are better imo.

If it is indeed Sport Front and OE rear there should be no rake IMO. Have you actually seen a TL/TLS with them installed?

i have the #50103 (sports in the front and OE in the rear combo) no raked look like the Comptech Springs. Loving it with stock shocks.. although I've been noticing that my car got a lot bouncier than a week ago when i got it installed... its all good tho

Had that combo, the springs were the older set they passed off as being for the TL The drop was 2.5 inches... I had stock shocks, no problems.

Thanks guys for the info.

I've got the OE Sports so I guess if I was able to pick up a set of used Sport Springs and install just the fronts I'd have the "new" H&R Sport Spring combo.

I have the sports

they're okay for a while. i've had them for 1.5 years now and it's getting quite bouncier than i remember it. you should definitely get spring and shocks installed at the same time or else you'll pay double to replace the shocks, unless you do it yourself.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll install HR Sports in the Spring 2004.

i put comptech on with stock shocks that have 60,000 miles on them....

the car rides f'ing great.

i am sure that the shocks will wear faster with the drop, but for now..

it couldn't be better..
