Default Need H&R Springs suggestion

I have a 6th gen accord V6 coupe and sitting on 18x7.5 45 offset. I am wondering should I get the H&R sport (F 1.7", R 1.4") or H&R Race (F 2.2", R 1.7" ).....since the Race will lower 2.2", is it gonna rub with my rims??

need your suggestions~

thanks

I got 2,0 from eibach and the drop is barely noticable. 2,2 should be ok. The eibachs said 2,0 in most applications but mine didin't drop that much.

Just depends on how low you want to go. Whether or not you rub is probably more dependant on the offset of your wheels.

If go with the race drop, you'll really need to get camber kit(s) and performance shocks. You can get both those things with the sport drop as well which is good, but you can probably get away without them without any problems.

Sport will also give a more civilized ride.

I have the sport drop, lowered just a bit more up front with my koni shocks, I like it.

But if the sport drop isn't as much as you like, go with the race, but be prepared for camber issues and get some performance shocks to go with them.

the only reason why you may have rubbing is if you get camber correction. those wheels should clear the outer fender lip on any drop, but if you have to correct the camber on the race drop, that *may* change...

I totally missed the offset that you posted. I think you'll be fine. I have the exact same size wheels, with 225/40's and I never rub.
