I've actually never heard of that company and I'm the one who updates the aftermarket parts list for the 2nd gen sedans...my advice would be, if you want a modest drop on your car, then go with the expensive impul springs...if you want to slam it to the max, hit up some tanabe DF210's i think...good luck pickin up them studs

I sure don't...they have 3 different springs from tanabe though. one for comfort, one for maximum drop, and one for performance. http://tanabe-usa.com/springs/

http://www.autocarparts.com/part/list/1337/
the autocarparts website shows how much of a drop the tanabe springs will give you as well

you can find the impul springs at japanparts.com...if you go to the marketplace tab up top, there is a member named sredish selling his new tanabe springs for like $240 or something

the nice thing about these is they aren't too awfully low and are supposed to still have a pretty comfortable ride. If you saw where I lived and the roads I have to go on, along with driving on my construction sites, you'd know why I can drop it at all, unfortunately. i really don't want to sell them but the longer they sit here, the higher the chances are they'll get installed and I really don't need that....

Rick @ Riverside said he can get the Impul springs for us, but there is a short wait once ordered.

I personally like the drop of the H&R springs. They lower about an inch in the rear and 1.3 inches in the front if I'm not mistaken.
Not too sure about the ride quality but the stance is perfect.
Most other springs I've seen have more front fender gap than in the rear.

FYI I double checked how much the H&R's lower and its 1.4 inches front and back. I'm thinking of the Espelir ASD's also but I really don't know much about the company. Plus, I don't want to go too low since we have speed bumps and ditches all over the place here. My 20's are going to be enough of a hassle to drive around with (but I love the fitment of 20's on the sedan).

I'd check Terry's spreadsheet stickied here, as it has real results, not what the manufacturers post. I can speak from experience that H&R is not 1.4 front and rear.

Just checked the spreadsheet, sorry about that.
H&R drop is 1.5" front and 1.3" rear
