Default Anybody have H&R Race Springs?

I was wondering if anybody had H&R Race Springs. It seems like it will be really low. 2.75" in the front and 2.3" in the back. If you have these springs how do you like them? Are they too low? Do the tires go inside the wheel well? Does the drop look coo?

I'm going to be putting on 17's on my car. Will it rub?

BTW it's for a 2000 civic EX

Rubbing would depend on how wide your tires are and what the offset of the wheels are.

In case you're wondering, try to get these numbers when you're looking for wheels and tires. 17x7" with +42mm offset with 205/40/17 tires.

Hope your camber is okay. Or you might want to start thinking of gutting the inner fenderwell trim.

They'll still fit. It's just that because you're gonna go with H&R springs, they'll most likely rub. Why not get a set of Ground Controls or something...

I was thinking of Ground Controls because of its adjustability, but the price is a little high and the ride feels better on H&R's with stock shocks.
