H-Sport Competition Package

Has anyone had any experience with the H-Sport Competition Package (25.5mm & 27mm anti-sway bars, H-Sport Springs)? If so how well does it handle?

It's probably one of the more popular setups. I used to run it myself and was very happy with ride and performance.
Unless you are doing some serious track days, I wouldn't recommend the larger front sway bar.
Also know that with any lowering spring there is the risk of destroying your factory struts. Otherwise it's my favorite road setup. (minus the front bar)

I will have the rear sway bar on this weekend and the springs in the next few months. I'm still thinking about whether I should put the springs on the stock struts or buy bilstein sp's or koni's. I would think it would be easier to swap out the entire strut and spring assembly.

i do not think that you will need the front sway bar, since the rear sway is going to stiffen the rear end, and make the car more neutral, you do not need to change the front sway bar.

I found some stock takeoff struts (FS: NAM) and bought all the parts to make them complete for some Eibachs springs. It really made the swap easy This also allowed me to keep the stock struts intact so I could swap them out for the winter in RI (even easier). I would recommend some aftermarket shocks to handle the extra requirements of the lowered springs if you have the bucks.

I had the H-Sport springs and comp rear bar on my '04 LY/LY and loved the set up. Remember the rear is adjustable so it's pretty easy to get the amount of over/under steer desireable. As for the springs, they were a fantastic upgrade as well. The ride was actually more comfortable after the springs were installed. I did quite a few track days with this setup, no autocross. I'll be doing the same with my '06.
