springs vs sleeves

Hi, I was wondering how H&R sport springs compare to GC Coilovers dropped at about the same height. Was wondering about ride quality, performance, and reliability. The reason I want coilovers is to adjust the wheel gap so it is even on both sides, cause alot of civics sit lower on the drivers side than passanger. I having alot of toruble deciding cause I've heard springs ride better and perform better and are cheaper, but I would like coilovers so I can make the ride height even and adjust them to my liking. Any input is appreciated. BTW they will be going on a 92 civic si, with kyb agx shocks, 15 inch slipstreams with 195/50 tires, and will be my daily driver.

Re: springs vs sleeves

Do you already have the AGX's? If so go with the H&R's because KYB does not recommend their shocks be used with sleeves. If you don't have shocks already, check out Koni Sports(yellows) they have a shock perch that can be adjusted (front 15mm - rear 25mm -- enough to even out the ride), yellow's would work well with H&R's or GC's. If I had the choice, I'd go H&R/Koni, for a few hundred more you could get a true coilover set-up. I would consider GC & Koni yellows true coilovers if they were designed & made by the same company. Koni does make a yellow/spring kit which can be considered a true coilover set-up, but for that much money I'd get H&R or Tein coilovers.
