I don't know what the sports are...the progressive rate lowering springs
are less then $200 most places.  Are you actually talking about Neuspeed
springs?  If so, they're no longer made by H&R, Eibach now I think.

CIS-E is quite effective when maintained properly IMHO. :)  As I suggested
once already, you should replace your O2 sensor and be done with it.  You
probably need one from the sounds of it.  Call Mike or Mark and ask for
the universal Bosch unit, then clip, solder, heat shrink and wrap
it up.  I've done two this way, works great.

I think it could be...but there's no point at all trying to diagnose any
other problems until you fix the obvious stuff...like replacing your O2
sensor. :)

Let me know if you need some specific advice in this area, good luck!
