H&R springs don't sag. they do settle slightly after a week or so. you might get one full inch of lowering out of them with the H&R OE springs.

I have H&R OE's with KYB AGX's (CORRECTED) on a 97 EX. They seem to have settled around a .75 to 1.0 drop, but stupid me I forgot to measure the "before".

Even with the < 1" drop, the rear WILL need a little camber correction. I used one washer spacing on stock UCA bolts. The alignment still came out with a negative 1.4 degree camber. ("within spec")

I'm running that setup and have about 20,000 miles on it. About 16,000 with the current tires. I have no rear camber problems, the tires are wearing even and it did settle to about an inch drop. I've got about 60,000 on the rear shocks, front were new with the springs. I feel that the rear shocks are shot because it doesn't take holes or large cracks very well. Not a bad ride - I drive all day on crappy roads. At that price I will be putting new ones on soon. I also have poly trailing arm bushings but I don't think that has anything to do with the no noticable negative camber. 13" wheels with 185/70 tires for winter.
