Nice dude, thats a sweet ass deal.  Hope you like 'em as much as I like mine

Little hint to make the install easier, and the car look better, pick up a set of rear LCAs to install at the same time.  If you have the cash that is

That kinda defeats the purpose of the HPK system, considering the springs are perfectly matched to the shocks.  WHat did you like better about the RSR springs?

the shocks should be just as well matched to other springs with similar springrates.

which RS*R springs?

dont remember the actual model name cause i got them off a wrecked car but they were blue springs if that helps...it felt alot tighter with the rsr springs...the springs were off an integra and i had them on a crx so maybe the stiffer spring rates may be why i liked it more but it handled on rails

It was kind of a loaded question as I doubt that he searched and found the correct spring rates.

broken, THESE are minty fresh

remember: DON'T GET IN FRONT OF THE SPRINGS when you're taking them off the struts.
