The ride is excellent. I think I might bottom out on the roughest roads, but that is rare. Prokits sit a bit higher (I think), so that should take care of it.
IMO, short Konis are mandatory for lowering springs on our cars. Before I put on the Konis I had the Tokikos on that the previous owner had installed. The ride was horrible.

Actually, the Tokicos are damned close to the Pro Kits in terms of drop.

Tokico even gave up the spring rates. Rare amongst major manufacturers.

We've actually got two (2) solid choices now. The progressive rate and undeniably bad-ass Hypercos, and the linear rate and very affordable Road Magnets.

On paper,you should be in good shape:

Rate: Per H&R's technical support line: "Unavailable to the public. Our Sport springs are designed to be used with the rest of the stock suspension including the struts." Bah, nice guy, lame answer, CSK's only for a daily driver.
MSRP all springs: $299.00
Ballpark price: $210.00 at Tire Rack. |
H&R/CSK's and you would lose 0.30" of travel with the B13 platform.
H&R/CSK's and you would lose 0.50" F and 0.40" R of OEM travel with the B14 platform.
I'm *guessing* the H&R's are 20-35% stiffer than stock springs, H&R will not divulge their sport spring rates.

See above on the H&R's and Tokicos.

PM me Ian if you decide you want someone to build them, and no it would not be me. But there are two (2) folks besides Steve that can turn out a set for you.
