what makes the H&R sports better then the sportlines?

I see they lower your car more, but unless you invest in better struts, it will just be worse in the long run since it will blow out the stock struts even sooner lol. How bout handling?

ive never been a fan of eibach springs.....i had them on my camaro and absolutely hated them. i took them off within a week and bought afcos. personally ive ridden in my buddies r32 with h and r springs and my buddies turbo b16 civic and i was more then pleased with the quality and handling ability. i was only looking into sportlines due to how many people run them on these cars.

Just a word of advice.... both of those springs were created for the LSJ suspension.

Eibach will soon be releasing LNF specific springs.... which are better mated to the better OE suspension of the LNF car.

With either of those springs you will only degrade your handling... unless all you car about is looks!

I have H&Rs with Konis and have ZERO complaints. Rides awesome, and also mated with RAW strutbar, and progress rear swaybar and bridgestone potenza pole position tires the thing anihilates corners like its on a rail.

i want the car lower....for now its just for looks. in a fewyears ill end up with coilovers when i mess with it more. besides i doubt the h and r springs on stock tc struts will degrade the handling.

theres actually was a test done by tirerack testing the pro kit vs the h and r springs on a bmw 328.

heres the link:
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/t...bach_hr_rd.jsp

the springs actually ended up in a tie as they were practically identical.
the h and r was slightly better in the track except for response but the pro kit springs were slightly better for ride comfort.

idk about sportlines but eibach is an awesome company
