so i'm looking for a very subtle drop on my car - just to get rid of the gap in the wheel well. i was going to get the h&r oe springs but when i went to acura woodbine to order them they told me that h&r doesn't make them anymore. is this true?
if it is true, what other springs should i look at. i want to keep the ride quiality as close to stock as possible. i will probable get the koni yellow shocks. but as for springs, what are my options?

 

just get the H&R Sports. 50103 is the correct model for the fixed sag problem in the rear. The drop is settle and the ride is still very comfortable with aftermarket shocks.

 

^^ Agreed.

OE Sport won't even give you a noticeable drop, much less get rid of the gap. 50103 Sport with Koni Yellows will be a good setup.

 

So with the OE's the drop is supposed to be .75" up front and .5" in the back. I fugure after settling, they would be a quarter inch more.
How much are the Sports supposed to drop the car? You said the ride is very comfortable with aftermarket shocks. Which shocks are you talking about? I am thinking about getting the Koni Yellows. What do you think?

 

In another thread ...

A lot of GTA guys went with H&R sport springs + Tokico Illuminas or Tokico Blues. Koni Yellows are really good (stiffer than Tokicos) but you're spending > C$750 for a set of 4. You can get the H&R + Tokico Illuminas + installation for that price.

If you have deep pockets, then go for that setup (H&R + Koni). Talk to Paul ... he might be able to negotiate on the price. (Tell him all the Toronto guys on the Acurazine board advised you to go talk to him ...)

Also ... check the black market to see if anyone wants to part out their car ... might be able to get good parts for a good price. (ALSO: Woodbine has very high labour costs ... PM samwks -- he knows quite a few shops in Scarb that are more reasonable)
