I pretty much copied JMAN44544. I have the H&R sport springs and a rear SPC camber Kit (a must). The springs were a huge improvement but as a precaution I replaced the rear shocks with Tokico HPs. Big difference over old shock (just look at the size of HPs vs. stock shocks). The rear left side is still a little out of spec but nothing I can't live with. No crazy tire wear yet. I only have about a 500 miles on them so far. Great set up. A little low with 245/40 R 18s. I scrap on speed bumps and the usual DC "huge" road dips/drive ways. Small price to pay for great handling. I have a stillen rear sway. Have not had the time to put it on yet. I wonder if it will even make a difference. We'll see.

H&R Sedan Springs...
I used the sedan springs from tire rack (H&R). The drop is pretty substantial. On my X the rear does look a little lower once settled. Also, the left driver side is about a 1/4" lower than the right. It might be because of my fat a$$ (200+lbs). Its been a month now and I assume the springs have settled. My alignment guy says that he can not get the left (driver side) pulled in enough. Its about a 1/8" to a 1/4" off. Not bad I guess, just have to rotate the wheels alot. I posted pics back on page 63 right after I switch out the front springs. (That pic does not show the true drop Sorry...) Fronts settle a lot. Wait a while for the alignment.
Still, would not have any other springs over H&R. With new shocks in rear, the ride is awesome. Smother than stock yet corners with the best of 'em.
Will post pictures when I get the car washed. I don't want to catch hell for posting pics of a dirty car.
