After extensive reading on this forum i chose the H&R sport for my car.
I have on kyb excel-g on the front and kyb gr2 on the rear with the h&r sport springs, hence i got the perfect stance (front lower than back)

Thanx....
I am the kind of guy that will put 2 new tires on the rear instead of the front just because i hate seeing a car with the rear lower than the front.

I wanted to lower my car over 2 years now and i kept reading this forum over and over with 8 different brand springs in mind, until last week i threw the towel in and said fuck it, I am going H&R.

I had my fingers crossed when my mechanic finished putting the springs on and about to bring the jack down. It was a relief.

I did TRD's, but I don't think those are that easy to get ahold of... I would go with a name brand, and unless you want more that I think 1.2 inches (?) you're gonna have to get coilovers...

I never did answer your RMM lip question

Total thread jack: does anyone know where the OP can get a new Gen 3, not 3.5, RMM lip?

Eibach, H&R, TRD, etc for springs are all great. KYBs and Tokicos for struts. I have ZENN springs and KYB struts. I'm gonnna go a bit lower when I get my Tokicos soon. here's a pic for reference...

Its better to put new tires on rear anyway better handling I learned that when i went to a class on tires for my job.

I put Ksport springs on my 93 with oem struts and got an even 2" drop all around.I need to get some kyb struts to get the stance right but I think it looks nice but I hafta buy a camber kit now so I don't wear my tires out too.

^ That's a real good thread in the DIY, but I feel like that thread needs a lot of updating to reflect Coilover combinations that are now present, to account for people like me (who are potentially idiots) who did a drop on Monroe's...

Like I said, I feel it needs updating...

It drives like a brand new car..
Those springs are the best.....my $235 on ebay was well spent. Moreover what i like about H&R is they have springs for each engine type. The rest of cheap springs only have one spring for the 4cyl and 6cyl.
