The tein s-tech drop is good. The rear was like a 1-2 finger gap if i remember right; and the front was like 2-21/2 finger gap.

Hmmm. I've been looking into Pro-Kits also but the "boat look" isn't too appealing. I think I'm now decided on H&R's. Truthfully, with any aftermarket spring, I'd recommend upgrading the shocks. The H&R's are less of a drop than Pro-Kits and I've known people who've drove on Pro-Kits for years with stock shocks.

Yeah its a tough decision I will buy aftermakret shocks down the road but for know it will be on stock. The pro kit seems to do really good with the stock and the teins are nice drop not sure about the h&r though. If i could get the pro kit for cheaper id go with those but since ht teins are just a little more and there brand new im leaning towards the tein.

I would really consider waiting it out until you can afford the aftermarket struts to go with your drop. A brand new set of Tokico HP's only runs about $260 new and they're pretty decent struts for the money. My old Accord was dropped on them with Skunk2 Coilover sleeves and they were great.

So, my advice is to wait a little longer. If you can get a good deal on the Springs I would go ahead and buy them, then get your struts a little later and install them all at once. I bought the springs for my TL two months before I even dropped my car....

If you can get used H&R Sports for $100, I'd jump on them. Tein's aren't great and they'll give you an uneven ugly drop.

i probably wont get shocks for a very long time being that im a full time college student and im not working. I dont drive a lot and i mean its kind of rare that i do lol.

The thing about the h&r is that I dont think the drop is enough Id say the pro kit is enough though.

H&R goes lower than the Pro Kit. For future reference let me state this, any other spring you read about will lower the car more than the Pro Kit. The Pro kit isn't really a drop after all.
