H&R Race springs will give you 2 in the front, 1.75 in the rear.

my cousin has the H&R for his DA down here, and took it out for a run the other day, and it handles really good, as well as a nice ride.

i have tein s techs on mine but on oem struts gota upgrade the struts but it handles pretty nice even on the oem.
2 inch drop all around
this is my daily driver.
i was using 195/55/15's and the ride was pretty comfortable.
currently im switching to 205/40/16's as you can see in my sig there is about a 1 1/2 inch gap between the top of the tire and quarter panel.
45's would have been better but its good still.

i had H&R aswell on koni orange/red. found it kind of stiffer than the teins.
these pics are with the teins.


front im looking for a type r lip so its a little higher than the sides but over all it looks good

I suggest you save up a little bit more and get coilovers or the ground control coilover sleeves

I'd say go H&R Sport on Koni yellows, by the way Koni yellows aka Koni Sport have "spring perches" that you can adjust before you install the spring that give you an added lower .25" or so.

The H&R Sports should be 1.75" in the front anyway, the H&R Race is 2" in the front but much stiffer than H&R Sports, and the Tein S Tech(green) 2.5" in the front a little bit stiffer than H&R Sports, Tein High Tech(bronze) 1.7" front, similar stiffness to H&R Sports.

I heard they have some fake Tein springs around so be careful.
