[More] Suspension Questions

Hey Marko,
  I'd say go with the HOR springs.  I don't think the added height of the 
stock springs will make any difference in the things you can get over 
without bottoming out.  The HOR springs have a higher spring rate, so it 
takes more force to go through its travel.  You'll get less front end dive 
under braking.  Those springs are only a little lower than stock.

I am finally getting a new suspension. These suspension questions are as 
common as what spark plugs and motor oil to use, but please bear w/me.

I am getting KYB shocks, and am having a hard time deciding what springs to 
use. I got a set of used HOR sport springs from a fellow lister, but don't 
really wanna lower the car. The streets here have huge potholes. I am 
leaning towards just putting the stock springs back on w/the KYB struts. Is 
that a bad idea? They still have good height and its a pretty cheap way 
out. Besides, if I put the HORs on, won't that increase the chance of the 
KYBs having a shorter life?

thanks
