Default Hks Springs

What do you guys think of these springs, im gonna run my stock suspension, and supposedly they lower the car around 1inch all around which isnt alot (which is what i want) . Any experience with these springs? Do used springs make a big diff then say new springs?

Thanks guys.

I have these springs, and I liked them quite a bit when I forst got them, but they have settled A LOT. They actually ride smoother than the stock springs, mostly because they are progressive rate. I have aftermarket wheels on my car (18x17.5 +48 offset), and they were just fine for a long time, then one day they started rubbing on the inner fender wells when I would hit bumps, and now I have bent up both of my front fenders from pulling into driveways. I would say the springs settled another 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch from the initial 1 inch they dropped the car.

I personally would not buy these springs again for the type of driving I do. I think next time I will get KG/MM Super Sport springs and some Konis.
