I get it. I am looking at all the mild drop options. I don't get why H&R and white would both lower the front rates, but increase the back rates significantly. Sure it might make it more rotable on the streets, but at the track, I feel like that could be too much and can't really be all that better. What caught my attention was K tuned's spring rate.
With such a heavy nose having that low of a front spring rate makes no sense. I've added a big rear sway bar to the rear to help with track rotation. If I keep this car I'm going to go MCS and get the car properly balanced with high spring rates.
It's been a while, but I'm fairly certain that we removed one segment of the bump-stops. If the K-Tuned springs are the route you're looking into, I believe that you'll be pleasantly surprised, particularly by the flexibility of the offering.
I got them installed recently, and they're great! Love them!
They truly are. They aren't the only offering that can work in this manner, but they work so well with the factory adjustable suspension. They are a bit firmer and can overpower the comfort setting a bit, making comfort mode a bit bouncy on particularly bumpy roads. But other than that, they work magnificently.
Hey guys, I am doing my research for a mild daily spring that has a nice look to it and I’ve found myself researching the K-Tuned option.
I have a set of VR 18"x9.5" sitting in the garage that I cannot get tires for yet, so these are on stock sized rims/tires. Took these moments ago. Sorry for the close perspective, but I was leaning back against the side of our neighbor's house.
Thank you for sharing! Would you say on flat ground that the drop looks even? Definitely hoping to avoid the look of a higher front end.I have a set of VR 18"x9.5" sitting in the garage that I cannot get tires for yet, so these are on stock sized rims/tires.

Very even, definitely NOT higher in the font. That would look terrible! If there is any lean to it, it may be fractionally lower in the front. But if it is, it's so tiny and insignificant that I may be imagining it. I just walked out and looked again and it looks even front to back. Perhaps it's just the shape of the front end or the downward slant of the trim, but I always feel like the front is a fraction of an inch lower. If it is, I'm fine with it.
Perfect! I think the K-tuned might have moved to the top of my list and I've also found some great deals on them online. I wish there was feedback from more people running them, but the few of y'all that have them on their cars speak very highly of them. I don't have any intention of tracking my car, but I really want something that gives me the lower look I want while working well with the stock shocks.Very even, definitely NOT higher in the font.

How's this for a Honda driveway: 2000 Insight, 2015 Fit, 2015 Si sedan, 2019 CTR (all in need of a bath!)
Yep, it was tough finding feedback on the K-Tuned springs. Had them installed late last month and so far no issues, and the car rides perfectly fine. The drop isn't drastic, but just enough for me right now until I get the itch to get lower.
Wow! Thanks so much for the photos! It almost looks like your car has less of a drop than @nYdGeo car but it’s probably just the wheel/tire/offset difference. Either way it looks great and seems like a great height for a daily setup. Are you 18x9.5 +38 with a 255/40? These springs should be more talked about, especially with the rates and the mild drop.Yep, it was tough finding feedback on the K-Tuned springs.

As for how even it is front to back, I feel like it's pretty even. See for yourself below and decide.
Might end up going coils when it comes time to replace (whenever that is), but I'm good with this right now.
