Default which springs--Nuespeed or H&R?

I want to drop kinda low---H&R's would be the 2.7" fr. and 2.3" in back. I heard the Huespeeds would be about 2.7" all around. Which one has the better looks and feel? I will have 205/40/17 wheels/tires. Help me out!!

They are pretty much the same.......Both German made and I heard they are even made in the same factory.....
:goodjob:


Neuspeed Race....2.25F-2.0R.........H&R Race.....2.75F-2.50R

I had the Neuspeed race on my EG sedan and the but sagged.....Looked shitty......(my model has all wheel disc brakes w/ABS...Maybe the ABS computer in the back woth my system in the trunk made it weigh more).....They handled great though with Tokico Blues......

I had H&R sports on my EG DX Coupe.....With Tokico Blue......It had the right slanked and looked good......also handled great.......

I in the end went with Ground Controls and Koni's........

The spring rates on Neuspeed and H&R are the best........They just have different heights....for their sport and race models....


Hope this helps........

I have H&R race on my hatch and it seems to be slammed in the front and just a little lower in the back. (maybe becuase a hatch has no wieght in the back and my motor is heavier than the stock one)

FYI:a drop more than 2in. with 17s is too much.....you will scrape like a mofo..... if i were you i wouldn't go more than 1.8in. You can neuspeeds 1.8 all around

Get Neuspeed Race springs, stiffer then H&R actually. I called the companies.

Doood: As always I love your sedan :drool: I will have a 92-95 sedan one day.

But I want a dumped, low look, with the tires almost tucking. 205/40/17's will scrape? I've heard that they wouldn't with the right offset. BTW, which offset should I go with?
thanks to all.

Maybe he doesnt need the ride adjustability nor the linear spring rates.



H/R Race and Neuspeed Race are a way better setup than the entry level Ground Control adjustable springs IMO.
