the Tein H-tech and the Eibach Pro Kits give the same drop. 1.4 front and .7 rear. This is for the 06/07 V6 coupe. the sedan is a little different drop with the pro kits, not sure about the H-techs. the H techs are from 03-07, whereas the pro kits are only for the 06/07 , as seeing how the 06/07 models are heavier than the 03-05 models I believe the pro kits are better becuz they made this springs exclusive for these two years. Also, h&R doesnt make the OE sport srings for the coupe, assuming you have thecoupe, as they make the OE sport only for the sedan. I think the H&R sport springs (from what I heard ) are a little more stiff/harsh than the pro kits and the drop is I believe 1.5 front and 1.3 rear, which I think is too much for this car personally. I was thinking of getting the pro kits for my 06 V6 coupe just to get rid of the excessive wheel well gap but with the stock ride quality being so firm, any king of drop will make it worse. so most likely will keep it stock.

The Pro Kits are very popular, and I have not heard of any problems with them. The amount of drop you mentioned sounds about right too.

For the '06-'07 sedan I believe the H-Tech drop is 1.4F/0.7R and the ProKit is 1.5/1.0. I have heard enough about the H-Tech to question their quality as compared with Eibach or H&R. I agree with you about the drop on the H&R Sport being a bit much (for me and the car) given the additional decrease in ride quality. From reading the consumer reviews of all three on TireRack.com (ProKit, H&R OE Sport, and H&R Sport) I've decided to go with the OE Sport. Those reviews talk about a noticeable improvement in handling/steering response with mild increase in firmness for the OE Sport. That works for me. If they're put on the lower perch of the Koni Yellows in front that could give a drop of about 1.0F/0.75R. That's about right and H&R's reputation for quality is good too.

07 VP upgrades

Is the rear sway bar a bolt on or does the bar require brackets to be welded or drilling to the sub-frame? I think if I go with a VP I will probably go for the H&R front and rear sway bars so it doesn't feel like a boat and then upgrade to firmer shocks later.
I haven't thought much about tires/wheels but that is for another forum, and also inflates the budget too much.

Hey everyone. I have an '02 EX Manual, and I dont really like how tall the shifter is. Has anyone ever changed their shift kit and/or have some good recommendations for a shorter, more comfortable shifter?
Is it difficult to do?
thanks for your help.

I know there are kits to make the throws shorter, I don't remember seeing any that make the shift lever itself shorter. Do a search for short-shifters, and see what comes up.

There should be a whole host of short shifters for your car. Some give you shorter throws, some give you a physically shorter shifter, which will also yield shorter throws as well.

have you come across any mike?
I have seen a neuspeed one, but that was an adapter. For the most part what I have come across are short shift kits, which simply includes an adapter to reroute the shift cable. while is shorter shift would be fun, I am more conerend about shortening the length of the shifter.
any recommendations would be helpful.
thanks.
