I am thinking about buying a set of h&r oe sport springs. I want to lower my 2000 Accord EXV6 coupe to get rid of some of the wheel gap, but do not want to drop it that much. That is why I am thinking of getting the oe sport which only drops it .75 front/.5 rear. Does anyone have the oe sport on stock shocks? Any Opinions? Comments? Pictures? Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

 

90% of people will not notice your car is lowered if you have oe sports

 

Do you want looks or ride quality. Pick one because you can't have both. I agree though, you won't notice it's lowered.

 

Personally I had some bad experanices with H&R springs. I know they are supposed to be Top quality stuff but I (and my customers) where dissappointed with there performance.

I've lowered a 1997 Accord V6, 2000 CLK 430, and 2001 CLK 55 AMG, with H&R and all of them drove poorly. They all exibited more body roll then was expected from a "high perfromance" spring. I replaced the Accords with S/T's and both MB's with Eibach's and the car's drove much better. There was a deffinate improvement.

I would get some more testimonials from owners before spending your money. Personally I'd go with Eibach. S/T is also very good and from what I've heard they are owned by Eibach and share all their R&D. From what I understand S/T is a balence between the Eibach Pro-Kit and Sport Line and also reasonably priced.

My car is on Koni yellows with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and S/T sway bar kit. The car handles very well, Not to low and personally I would like to be lower but then that would degrade my performance and I am very happy with that. When parked next to a stock Accord the difference is obvious but on it's own it's harder to tell.

Good Luck with your choice.

 

I'd go for the H&R Sport springs. Like dantastic said...the OE won't really reduce your gap. I have the Sports, I would recommend them.

 

Yup, especially on the 6th Gen, even if you go with the Sport drop (which lowers more than an inch) it's hard to tell if the car has been lowered!

Oh, I love my H&R Sport (with Koni Yellows). I can't be any happier (well, other than I need new tires).

 

I have eibach prokit on my accord and id recommend it. 1.5 inch drop, which means its noticeable that u have a drop, but its not slammed to the floor at all. You get very very good ride quality and good agressive stance.

 

jschmid, how much of a finger gap do you have on your car? btw, it looks very clean.:thumbup:
Thanks for everyone's advice.

 

Oh brother... I ordered H&R OE sports spring from Autodynamic for my 93 Accord .. I really wanted H&R sports spring but road condition in Seoul, Korea.. is bad.. Too many manholes in stupid road..

 

I think the OE sports are decent if you don't want a large drop. Who cares if people don't notice the drop? I'd rather be a little high up than be mistaken for some riceboy is a slammed car......just my opinion.
