After searching the forums looking for someone else who has tried Maxspeed springs, which are supposedly H&R's under a cheaper name, and only finding someone who tried them with a Protege 5 I decided to give them a shot. They advertise a 1.3" f/r drop.
Here's what I received in the mail:
Quality looks to be good overall, they even have their name and part number painted on the springs, more than I would expect for so called "cheap ebay springs."
I decided to take before and after measurements here are the before:
Front is at about 10 1/4 inches
Rear is at 1 Ft from my line
After:
Front is now at 8 3/4 from the same line
Rear is the same at 1 Ft,
I'm going to give it a week or so and maybe the springs will settle a little and the rear will go down, or maybe my MSP Springs were worn since they did have 108K on them. Either way I am happy with the results and I don't think there is nearly as much rake at the Tein S springs I've seen. The ride quality Is slightly rougher but I feel much more planted on the road.
Here are before and after pics of the whole car:
