need pics of H&R sport springs on EK's

Hey,

I'm planning on going to a sport setup as opposed to the rediculously low race setup that i curently have.

Can someone provide pictures of the drop on an EK?? sedan preferably.

Thanks !

Not a sedan, but the drop would be similar.
On 17's

On 15's

Which do you think looks better?

On 17's, the front rubs a bit when the wheels are turned and the road is bumpy, but my alignment is messed too.

I've had them for a year exactly. They settled a bit, but I don't have any pics from when they were first installed.

See my sig.

I have H&R Sport, Koni red Shocks 17" rims. Hardly ever rub, if I do its when I'm turning inot a tight parking spot, or any time the wheels are turns all the way to one side. Bumps...not really a problem if taken at a resonable speed. Daily driving never rub.

I got H&R sport on my EK sedan. You can see what they look like with 16" and 17" wheels. I think the drop is 1.75" front and 1.5" rear.

hey man nice car ... thanks for the pics.

I've seen the rear shot on jdmcivic, very nice.

I just got the H&R sports installed today, nice and clean drop and ride esp. However, is the front supposed to be lower then the rears ?

Tony, yup the front is supposed to be a little lower, especially with your car being a bit heavier then mine. H&R Sport Springs 1.75" front, 1.5" rear, and about 0.5" extra because they settle over time. I think it looks way better then the Race springs.
