    H&R springs + KYB-GR2s for a DD - anyone done it?

    Worth it over stock, or no? Looking for a firm, properly damped ride. I know the Accord will never be a Miata, but the wife likes the twisties

    i have never drove on H&R's before. but i do know that upgrading any part of the suspension made the car handle noticably, and so much more fun to drive.

    Good to hear. How was it compared with stock? Was the 1.5" drop noticeable?

    There was a noticeable difference, not major but you could tell the difference

    yeah the springs lower the center of gravity so the car can corner a bit faster
