I'm thinking of using H&R OE springs w/stock struts for my '04. I have 205/60/16 tires, on 6.5" x 16" wheels. What do you guys think? I don't want it slammed but lowered a little, mainly with better handling. The front gap is now about 3.00", and the rear is about 2.25" The result would be a *theoretic* F=2.25", R=1.75"
I had H&R OEs and Koni Yellows installed last week. I made the mistake of having the Konis set at lowest perch. I got a drop of about 2 inches. I'm taking the car back in today to have the Konis set to top perch on front and middle perch on back. The mechanic set the firmness to 1 full turn off of softest. Koni guys suggest 1/2 to 3/4th turn using H&R OEs.
I want the drop to be about 1 inch or so, not over 2". With what I did I couldn't get the rear wheels aligned (went past 2), so I'm hoping the change will allow the alignment to be doable.
You can call H&R and ask about using their springs with stock struts. The guy I spoke with said there wasn't a problem for a 95 Accord.
