I can't tell from the advertisement if the car is lowered with the sport springs, super sport springs, the cup-kit, or coilovers.

Any straight side views? Need to see the actual drop or before and after pics would be nice... And how much of a drop did you get?

Did you stick with the OE struts/shocks or change them out?

On my H&Rs I have hit some pretty big potholes without any rubbing. There's more room for travel than it looks. I'll try to get some straight side shots for better reference.

Kept the stock shocks. 1.5 front 1.3 rear drop. My tuner told me that new shocks would be effective if I am tracking the car - but I don;t plan on doing that very often.

If you are asking if the H&R sports are ok as a daily driving setup.... yes, only slightly stiffer than stock but the benefit of much less body roll.
