I say get the Sportline, install them with stock shocks then start saving up for when your stock shocks blow and buy some Tokico blues

I wouldn't recommend ANY drop more than 1.7" with stock shocks, and that's pushing it. Hit a good bump to bottom the piston out and you'll see why...

I agree, you'd be ok with the Neuspeed Sports, but The Neuspeed Race Springs are a 2" drop I believe.

What do you know? :rolleyes:

Lol :p

You'll be fine..I've been on my H&R Sports for........1 week and they are fine :D

Question though..sorry to half-jack your thread, but if I wanted to go lower and just bought Koni Yellows (adjustable), would the springs be able to handle a lower drop than they are advertised? For example, H&R Sports are 1.5F, 1.2R..Koni can drop 25 mm or about 1 inch, will the springs be able to do that?

Yes, Sonnick you will get a lower drop from the Koni's because they adjustable, You actually get that out of any shocks for that matter. It might not be huge but it will still drop a little more.

I've been running my Neuspeed sports for about 8 months now and honestly there fine. I"m hoping to switch to coils this summer though.
