I was thinking about going with the H&R springs, I think they keep the back up a bit higher like in stock form, just lower. that appeals to me ;d
how stiff would you say they are?

Much stiffer than stock ones, ride is more sporty.

Cutie Pie - You dont need to get lowering springs with the Tokico shocks/struts, but mounting the lowering springs w/ those shocks helps stiffen up the car a bit more when switching lanes rigorously on the highway :)

Scape - So far the pics that Kaotic and others have taken of my car, it kind does look like that rear H&R springs to make the back end look look a bit high than other springs, but overall from a side view they dont, imo~
They are very strong (just ask contraband, he's seen them since i got them installed). I have had them on since, spring 2008 :)...my friend, she says she can feel every crack my car goes over on the freeway...lol

I decided to just to do the shocks and struts, I didn't want to lower car any (I like the height of the car ) car rides fine.

Can the stock springs handle the stiffer shocks? Are there stock height springs that are firmer?
Those shocks match the car quite well, BTW!
