H&R lowering springs with Bonoss Spacers on Type S

[StingertimeNC]

Get them! Honestly you'll probably be happy with either. But, I also would take stiffer vs. softer. Ride height is good and stance is perfect with spacers. I would also add that comfort setting is still noticeably softer and less harsh, but the springs narrow the gap. I basically do all driving except track (still need to expirement) in comfort setting for suspension. Still razor sharp but impacts are more manageable.

Already have them with spacers sitting and waiting for spring...

I’m Worried lowering springs may mess up how good the car is. I know it looks way better but how does it handle? Anybody put some real miles on with springs?

Going on almost 4 months now? Not a single issue. Love the way it handles in sport+, marginal different from stock. Highly recommend.

Great to know. I’ve never had great luck just running lowering springs in the past.
My 00 Si on eibach ground controls not too long after I remember having to swap in new struts. Same thing with my 05 tsx ended up swapping in koni yellows after doing springs.

are the oem struts better these days ?

Had they been other springs with a more aggressive drop, then yeah I would definitely switch out the shocks. But these dropped the car less than an inch so I feel like our stock shocks will hold up.

Good point most the drops inch or less way less than we did back in the day. Anybody found any full videos on installs? Looks like the axle nut has to be removed. Never messed with axels only thing has me hesitant.

I have Eibach Pro kit and it's not too bouncy in my opinion. I keed the dampers in comfort and it's great for daily drive. Will experiment at the Track once I make it back there.

The pro kits one of the biggest drops I’ve seen? Is that correct ?

Look is perfecto IMO.
