Summary:
this is my second summary. After using these springs in my car for six months I am satisfied with the ride quality. They dropped my car 2.3" and 2.0" but for some reason the rear makes a weird clanking noise. Thinking about changing them to H&R sport.

Strengths:
The springs and shocks are the same color (silver) wich will look super cool through my soon to be 18's. The ride sofar is pretty smoth. And I got a good deal on them as well.

Weaknesses:
None so far.!!!!!!!!! Way better that tokiko & Skunk2 coilovers that I have in my 1994 civic, But that baby is all porformance so I dont mind the bumpy ride.

Summary:
I was looking for some springs for my wifes 1996 Accord. I must of looked at 10 different companies. Since all she cared about was a big drop and a smooth ride, I crossed off some of the companies. My final choices were S.T. and H&R Springs. I finaly chose Suspension Techniques because of what i read on this website, People said that they liked S.T. and only wished they were a little stiffer, and bingo thats what I was looking for , a soft spring, not for performance but for looks. However people would say that the H&R's were super stiff. I matted the springs with KYB-GR2. And sofar so good!!!!!!!!

Strengths:
For people that want the lowered look without the sacrifice of ride quality, look no further.

Weaknesses:
I have to say,like other reviewers, these springs could've been more stiff.

Summary:
Got these installed and dropped my ride 1.3 inches or so I think. Doesn't give the car a "slammed" look, but definitely gets rid of the annoying fender gap when you install bigger rims. Looks clean. The back will bottom out sometimes if you have a heavy load in the back when you hit a bump.

Strengths:
The front springs seem okay.

Weaknesses:
The rear springs make clanking noises and I think they're too weak for my car. It's sitting lower than it's supposed to.

Summary:
Ever since installing these springs, there's been a loud clanking noise in the rear when I drive on rough roads or go over a bump. Two mechanics think it's the spring coils hitting themselves as they compress. The progressive design of these springs means the coils are touching each other at the top, and I think they're designed poorly if they make clanking noises under normal use. I installed new KYB shocks to make sure that wasn't the problem and it didn't solve it. I'd recommend getting another brand if you have an Accord.
