H&R O.E. springs ?
I have a 95 Accord EX 4-dr sedan, stock exterior with Michelin 195/60/15s. I just ordered H&R OE springs from Tire Rack. I plan on using stock (original 113k miles) shocks for now. I'll take measurements of front and rear and some pictures before and after. I'll update once the install is done, hopefully within the next two weeks.
I opted for the OEs to reduce ugly wheelwell gap and to enhance the ride. Koni Yellows will come later after I buy 17" wheels.

Since the stock gap for the front is about an inch bigger than the rear, the .25" difference in the O.E. helps but not enough. I am planning to put my front perch on the lower setting to drop it another .25". This will get it to even closer to the rear gap.

I'm thinking of using H&R OE springs w/stock struts for my '04. I have 205/60/16 tires, on 6.5" x 16" wheels. What do you guys think? I don't want it slammed but lowered a little, mainly with better handling. The front gap is now about 3.00", and the rear is about 2.25" The result would be a *theoretic* F=2.25", R=1.75"

I want the drop to be about 1 inch or so, not over 2". With what I did I couldn't get the rear wheels aligned (went past 2), so I'm hoping the change will allow the alignment to be doable.
You can call H&R and ask about using their springs with stock struts. The guy I spoke with said there wasn't a problem for a 95 Accord.
Is there like a diagram that tells you if you set this on that perch it will lower your car an additional inch or so?
Im planning on getting the O.E's w/ Tokico's Illuminas 5 way adjustable.
Whats better tokicos or koni?
