Default H&R OE Springs/Replacement OEM Performance

I was thinking about/looking at the H&R OE springs and I wanted to know if anyone has used them? I want to upgrade my suspension but I can't afford to loose a lot of ride height so I'm thinking start with these springs then move on to new shocks/struts (probably koni adjustables...) Anyone ever used them or have any suggestions on what to run for performance at stock ride height? Preferably something I can slowly piece together...

never used them but i know h and r is a great company. and it will list their ability to sag. they probly state that if they sag more than 2mm they will replace it for free. thats a pretty tight tolerance

I love H&R stuff I think I'm going to go that route for starters... about $200.00 for the springs and they only drop it .75" all around...

I actually have some H&R OE Sport springs, they are made for 98 to 01 i think thats the year range, I took them out because they werent stiff enough for the wheels i put on, they didnt have a high enough offset. Ive just been too lazy to sell them on ebay so all theyve been doing is sitting there. They are stiffer then stock, and there wont be any problems with stock wheels or wheels that are placed the same distance from the out side of the well... oe sport .75"front .50"rear

i use H&R springs, they dropped my car about 1.25 " in the front and 1.5" in the back or the other way around, can't remember, anyways they are really nice springs, they dont drop the car too low, and it creates better cornering

Marbro, did you have to get a camber kit for them? or were you able to keep it within tolerances?

I didnt see any camber change in the front for a .75inch drop, the rear had a slight camber change but i also had over 150pounds of stereo equipment in the rear lol
