Whew- just finished up new springs and struts over the weekend! What was I thinking when I decided to try this without impact tool?!?!
Anyway- in case anyone is interested in the same setup- it rocks! The Hypercoils drop the car about the same as Prokits- maybe a little less, but the springs are stiffer. I trimmed my bumpstops front and rear, and the ride is definitely livable with struts on 2f/3r. Much more pleasant than my old R-package Miata! Only downside- I wasnt able to get as much negative camber with the AGXs as I could with my old Monroe Sensa-Craps. So, I am running -1.5 front and -1 rear with 0 toe all the way around. Car goes great down the highway now, but turn-in isnt quite as fast.
Best thing about it- I got the Hypercoils new for $162! They fit great, dropped the car PERFECTLY (it is absolutely level). Plus, they are stiff enough to actually be a performance mod. If there is anyone else looking for springs who doesnt want to fool with GC coilovers on a daily driver, then I HIGHLY recommend these! But, do NOT try to use them without performance struts.
I also installed my newly purchased 15" flat black Rota Circuit 8s on the car last night (looks pretty good with a white SE-R). Needless to say, with all this, the car looks 1000 times better. Will try to post pics tomorrow!
