Default H&R springs. Good? Bad? .75 drop

Guys im most likely going to make a purchase on a set of HR springs. Does anyone have any experience with these good or bad? Also the drop on them is about .75. Any pics? Also will i have major "scrape-age" problems if i ever decide on a front lip?

Thanking in advance,

Daman

I have them and am very happy. Not too stiff and not too low.

BTW, the drop is more like 0.5 (of your antiquated units) or 14 and 16mm (for those that admit the 20th century ever happened)

I have the H&R Springs and have had no problems. I never really scraped until I got my C-West front bumper which is lower than the stock bumper with a lip. I think the drop is just enough. The ride is similar to stock, but after adding some suspension braces it was a little rough(until I drove my STi). Here's some pics of my car:



Hope this helps, I don't have any straight side pics except for one where I'm on my slanted driveway.

So these springs should be fine with the stock suspension rite? Like struts and shocks and all that. I really dont have any mods to the handling aspect other then a spoon sports xbrace.

Yeah, the spring should be fine with the stock shocks, had mine on for a little over a year now. I thought the suspension was a little harsh, but it actually rides like a Buick compared to my STi, so it really isn't all that bad. I'd get it if I were you.
