Default H&R Sport Spring Set?

I am looking into a set of lowering springs, and want to avoid a drop that is too extreme(im looking for something lower than TRD, but not by much). I am considering a set of Hotchkis springs, but I am afraid that they will go to low.

My problem is that there are a lot of speed bumps that I have to go over to get to school, and some of them are pretty significant, I dont want to get a set that will make me bottom out on a speed bump or anything like that. I'm considering a set of H&R Sport Springs but I cannot find any information about them other than 2 not very helpful reviews and not a single picture of a tC using these springs.

Does anybody have experience with H&R, I assume that because they are about $100 more expensive than most other springs that quality is not an issue, but I would like some info before I buy them.

I heard that Eibach and H&R are related in some way? H&R is a branch of Eibach? Not too sure. Someone clarify if I have mistaken. But they are German manufactured which is a plus.

H&R springs are awesome! That is what I have on my car at the moment. The drop is a little more than the trd.

That's a nice drop. Car looks good man!


H&R are really good springs. I had a set on my Altima before I switched over Ground Control coilovers. The ride was great and they handled great to. . I wish we sold them here. lol

Thats why I said clarify if I mistaken because I wasn't sure. Could have just said no they are not. But these springs are made in Germany.
