H&R springs

the sports which is made for the ss/sc- 1.5f 1.4r

and then the racing which is- 2f 1.5r

If they work for the ss/sc they will work on our cars, just add about another inch it will drop due to our original set up being higher than on the ss

just depends what you're looking for
i have the race set and the front is pretty much tucked 0 wheel gap
but the back looks stock
i didn't know there were two sets when i bought mine so i'm looking for some replacements for the rear

but it handels awesome and rides smooth

the race springs dont do anything for the ss/sc... the springs for the ss/sc are the sports.. trust me i had them they tuck the front and about 1 finger in the rear after settling

I love my H&R springs. youll be happy as well. pics --





Oh, Also with springs I have Koni Yellows, DC strutbar, and Progress swaybar, the car rides GREAT for being a lowered vehicle, rides stock like, no honda bounce, with other supporting mods there is no body roll and with the Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position tires she hugs corners

thanks man! I never really had too much bounce, but i blew out a rear stock strut and the fender was rubbing on my tires so i had to throw the konis in. Like night and day difference!

If you don't care about handling, get H&R, otherwise avoid.

used to own the h&r race springs on my ss/sc. They weren't bad... cheap alternative to stock springs. Ended up getting a set of pedders for a steal, and I would highly recommend you get them instead if you can find them for around the same cost.

here's how it looked on konis (2" front, 1.5" rear)
