ashman said:The H&R cup kit lowers 1.7-1.8. Other then those I think the major consensus is that H&R gives the lowest drop from just springs, you could always combine the H&R with Bilstien's lower perch. Keep in mind that the H&R springs will settle over time anyway.
NSXGMS said:Exactly. Using the lower perch on the Bilsteins allows you many more spring options and still get a 2"+ drop. With the additional .875" drop from the Bilsteins you'll be at a total drop of ~2.5" w/ the H&R--
I hope you know what you're getting into with that kind of drop--unless you're running 205/45/15 tires in the front you will have some rubbing issues. I lowered 1.25" and I scrape all the time also. I also rub at full lock but run 215/45/16 in the front.

Are they the same thing? (H&R Lowering Springs from Science of Speed Vs H&R Sport Lowering Spring from Ebay auction)
Thanks so much!

I also know of ONE nsx owner who's dropped on Eibach springs and he states he gets like 10,000 miles from his rear alignment. He's actually a houston guy who rolls in a black NA1 on grey Iforged. The wheels are now painted black instead of grey. His name is.... Jeff... any one know???
