H&R race with stock iso's here. I thought the sports were actually lower than the race?

Steeda's seem to be the most "speed bump friendly" springs out there :beer: Getting some for X-mas myself! Here's a pic:

2003 Cobra Sport Springs
• 1.25" front and 1.00" rear
• Front Progressive helical compression constrained by chassis and lower A-frame.
• Rear Progressive helical copmression constrained by chassis and lower A-frame.
• Spring rate front working range 720-780lb/in

From those drop measurements, STEEDA :beer: H&R's are a good 1 1/2"

H&R Race with no iso's. I have to drive around anything that sticks up more than a few inches but it looks damn good!

I researched this subject very well before I bought my H&R race springs. Very, very pleased with them. Gave the car a nice stance and tightened up the feel. I'm sure there are others out there but I'm happy going with this combo. I have a couple of speed bumps I run across every day (summer time) to get to work. As long as you take it slow no problem. Just my 2cents worth.

H and R sport springs with the stock isolators and i love them. i had the steeda springs before and they just didn't lower the rear enough.
