H&R has a Race and a Sport application... which come in different colours.. I think the red is the Race.

Negative! H&Rs run many different batches of colour, and they are date designations, not models. Check the part number painted on the spring, then refer to their website to check fitment. I have seen a coilover springs from H&R get replaced with a black spring, so three were red,

and one was black. It was replaced under warranty.

i just installed H&R sport springs in my 95 civic and they were a pewter colour - got them through the club in scarborough for $280 cash - brand new in the box

do what i did - check out the cars at the club meetings and see which drop you like visually then ask the member to take u out for a spin in their car so you can see what it rides like with the springs ur looking at - i got the sport springs after riding in 1nicesi's car - thanks james

no that pic is prior to lowering - i did the spring install myself using the free spring compression tool you can borrow from crappy tire

the sport springs drop the car 1.8" in front and 1.6 in the rear - ive only had them on for a couple of months but ive not noticed any unusual tire wear and the car tracks as straight as ever so id have to say at this drop no camber kit is not necessary - imho
