Default Suspension questions...

Are the H&R sport springs pretty good? Would $150 be a pretty good price for them? Also, can I ride with stock struts with these springs for a while? (I don't mind if the ride is a rough i just don't want my struts to blow) Eventually I plan on getting some adjustable struts (ie Illuminas) but I really want to be low right now... my car looks too rally style... I appreciate the help guys!

That's an ok price, but I've seen 'em cheaper. You should get struts now, but the stocks will hold out for a short while. It's not so much a rough ride as it is a bouncey ride with stock struts. Since your car is fairly new, it might be ok to just get springs for now. Just don't try that with race springs. If that's your car in your sig, it looks fine as it is now.

H&R's have been known to be quite low. You may not notice it when you first install it, but when it's been given time to settle, your tires may just be flush with the fenderwell. You could probably get away with your stock struts for awhile, but I wouldn't wait too long to get new struts. It'd be best if you could do both [springs and shocks] simultaneously to save on installation costs, unless you could do that sort of thing by yourself.

Most 5g hatchbacks I see ride with about 1-2 finger gap on H&R sports. My H&R sports give me 1/2 finger gap using the bottom perch of my koni yellows.

I installed some H&Rs on a teg with some AGXs about a month or 2 ago... he still runs with about a finger and a half all the way around.

FYI
