And if we are talking about "whooping up in handling"....if you really were comparing two comperabably equiped itentical model cars, with the difference being eibach sportlines or H&R/Neuspeed race springs, driver skill would probably play more of a role than any difference in race springs. So saying who would win is kinda pointless. (not directed at you F23A Accord - just stating opinion)

Yes, i am being a smart ass with you. Anyways, like i said before, they are both very good stuff and it comes down to personal preference, since ive been in accords with sports and prokits and i could not tell a difference.

H&R and Neuspeed are basically the same spring.

From: Wherever I happen to be...
I agree with Jsc... it would all be about driver skill in identically prepped cars with Eibach vs. H&R/Neuspeed...
I loved the "my friend with so and so parts would whoop you" thing though...I hear that from time to time...I won't say anymore about that.
As far as the springs go though... It would be all about the springrates.
Honestly I've never done a lot of research into Eibach's spring design...i have heard that the Pro-kits have identical springrates to Sportlines just less of a drop. I DO know that both Sportlines and Pro-Kits are progressive rated springs just like H&R/Neuspeed Sports. That kind of setup is aimed more at ride comfort than pure handling performance.
Whereas Neupseed/H&R Race springs are linear rated springs...
Just in my experience I'd take a linear rate spring over a progressive spring anyday. But my main goal is handling and not just looks...
So choose accordingly depending on your goals. There's nothing wrong with either...you just have to make certain decisions and accept certain sacrifices depending on which direction you are heading with your car....

i want perfomance, comfort can suffer if it menas better performance. so i assume from the post above that neuspeed race is the best performance spring?

Eibach sportline
I've got eibach sportline springs along with koni sport shocks on my 2000 accord lx. The ride is very nice. The only thing is that the accord wheel well in the front is a bit deeper than that of the rear.....so it may appear that the back is slightly lower than the front, but it's an even 2" drop.
The ride is excellent on New York City bumpy roads.
