I do, but I can't really answer your question... I mean what do you want in a suspension set up? This system is a compromise system.

It will make the car handle better, it is height-adjustable, but it will make the car ride rougher, substantially, over extended time. If you live in a city with even remotely bad streets think hard before you buy. They are RACING springs, another word for racing is sledgehammer.

If you're just looking for a drop, go with something else honestly. But if you're looking for a good compromise, these are a good choice.

I have to disagree with part of that. Yes, they do make the car handle better, however, my Mother (owner of '06 Acura TL) and Sister (owner of '04 Civic LX) have both commented that my H&R coilovers ride better than their cars. It is a stiffer ride than stock, but they are nowhere near the sledgehammer-type ride you've described.

They are expensive (a few dollars under $1000 would be a great price), but well worth it.
