Get the Type-S springs. H&R part number 50106.

http://www.google.com/search?q=H%26R...l735l0.4.1l5l0



The other spring (50104??) will "fit", but that don't make 'em the right ones for your car.

If you're looking used, keep an eye out in the Black Market - https://acurazine.com/forums/marketplace/parts/search/.

Someone just sold a set a few days ago - https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/fs-h-r-sport-springs-845261/

Nemo do a simple search, you will be surprise how many thread regarding about spring, coils, and other. If this doesnt work for you then google it and type whatever you want and write "xxxxxxxx 3g acurazine".

There's a thread around here (more than 1 actually) called something like "What Are You Fellas/Guys Dropped On" that has some pics of various suspension choices.

Edit:

This is one: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/what-u-fellas-dropped-840306/

I have the 50104 springs on type s struts on my type s. The reason I went through with the purchase (bought used on black market) was per a conversation I had with Marcus @ Heeltoeauto and it was reassuring enough for me to go ahead with the purchase.

I believe they are same springs different packaging and the spring rates may be a touch different if none at all.

I have had no problems at all, if that helps you any.

If I had to do it all over again I would have went coils the first time for sure.
The heeltoeauto coils that were formally F&F the Type I's
Just my .02

Yup I really don't wanna pull the back seat out again although its not that bad. But I sure do want another .75 inch of drop.

Although the ride on springs is quite nice don't get me wrong.

H&R makes two springs: one for the Type S and one for the Base TL. There are different springs because the Type S has a larger motor and they've likely changed the spring rates a bit to reflect that. Here is the link to the Type S H&R Sport springs:

Nemo, I've got H&R's on my Type S and love the stance. And-you don't need coilovers on a Type S. The Type S ride is already stiff enough, in my opinion. The Sports Springs are the perfect combination between great looks and a great price.
