Those of you that have experience with BOTH please share, I was going to get the pro-kits but now im looking at the H&R sport springs.

They will go with AGX's btw.
It seems as if im going with which ever one is cheaper

Any comments would be greatly appriciated

i just put on my H&R's w/ agx's and there is no body role. I have mine set on 3/6:D and it handles awsome. I love this set up. the ride is stiff as hell but the 4 wheel drifts are worth it.

H&Rs have a higher quality control certification and are outstanding springs. I'm not sure what the spring rate is on the H&R. The Eibachs are 160lb front and rear for the NX2000 (i think that's for the pro-kit) and 150 front, 145 rear for the sentra. I have the Eibachs with GAB ($200 each) shocks (AGXs were not available back then) and I like them quite a bit. I think I try the H&Rs as they were always incredible on my old BMWs.

Yeah, I've come to conclusion that for B14, if you don't want to go with GC coilovers setup, H&R is the only viable option... all other springs are too soft or too low and too universal.

Da91NX, where did you buy your springs and how much?

I think these were the blokes I purchased them from (https://www.olyonline.com/) . It was a long time ago.... I think about $200.00. I purchased a second set from Options (http://www.optauto.com/webstore/) for about the same price. Don't ask why I purchased 2 sets.... long story. The other was installed on an NX1600.

I got mine used, so I'm no help there.
I do have this setup, and this only in terms of suspension. It is nice, and compliant. It really feels nice at speed on smooth roads. As with any non coil-over set up; be prepared to compromise. Ben

I have H&R's on my Classic with KYB's. I'm not crazy about them - they lowered the car farther than I wanted to (about 1.5"). I've put 205/50 15 Azenias on the car and they rub in the rear on the top of the fender well under full suspension compression (smooth surface - loud, but not damaging to the tire). If I hadn't cut the bump stops this probably wouldn't have been an issue, but the rear suspension bottomed out all the time. I've driven Racerlinn's Classic with Eibach's and it doesn't seem to be lowered as far and the ride is a little kinder. The stiff ride of the my car bites on the rough pavement in Indy, but according to the G-Cube I can pull 1.05 g's to the left and 1.02 to the right (half second sustained).

I have the H&R's on my '97 SE-R. The car is daily driver and sees many autocrosses. They are awsome. The only setup I would go for other than this would be true coilovers with shortened shock bodies for that extra suspension travel we all lack.

But on different cars. I had the H.R. sports on my maxima and it made a huge difference. No rubbing but I had stock tires. The Eibachs are nice too but I thought the ride was rougher than the sports. From what I have read I always thought the H.R.s were no as harsh as Eibachs. I also was right behind Da91NX when he got his H.R.s on his pulsar and tested them. Man, what a difference in how his car went around the corner in relation to stock. And they made his car look mean. I want to get a set now.
