Yep, sure does. I noticed a huge difference when I installed my
H & R race coils on my 89 civic with stock shocks. I had to keep the stocks until my Tokico's came in the next weekend. But just with the springs alone, major difference in handling and performance. Now that I have an Accord, I wanted to put on some bling blings like I had on my civic, but the civic got stolen so I don't want history to repeat itself. Im just gonna get some ex rims and have them powercoated graphite, drop it on some neuspeed sports and call it a day. Im not gonna replace my stock shocks just yet because they are relatively new and I doubt a 1.5" drop will effect their abilities too much.
