I'm looking at lowering my S (on replacement H&R coilovers), but what do I need to do in addition?

Are top hats universal?
Do I need drive shaft spacers?
Are the standard Honda Wheel Alignment specs still valid for a lowered car?

 

I did mine on springs .. needed adjustable rear toe arms, and rack spacers.

 

I don't know, but we Nitron boys are running pillowball top mounts, whereas I don't think some of the alternative aftermarket shocks do. I think they will come with all the mounting kit though (I'd hope so, anyway!).

Lots of debate about hald shaft spacers - I stopped reading them months ago when I decided that I didn't need them.

Alignment specs - you still want the same (or perhaps a Center Gravity variations) but you need the bits Bibbs mentions (and in my sig - can be supplied by Center Gravity) to get the alignment spec with the lowered car.

 

I reused the "top hats" on mine, but they did come with new rubber bungs to put in them.

But what is the top hat that had to be drilled to fit the Konis? So they may not be universal.

Whats the benefit of having a pillow-ball top mount?
