Regarding the offsets, the front wheels are turned a little so I think it is giving the wrong view on how the offset looks when the wheels are straight. I will try to take some pics with the wheels straightened out.

They are the 1.4/1.3. I got the H&R's from Tirerack with a wholesale account (although not listed on the website yet).
There hasn't been any settling on any of the H&R's that I've run. One big misconception is that aftermarket springs last forever. They don't. Just like OEM springs, their useful life is probably 30k-40k miles and they should be replaced then (along with shocks). I would not expect any significant drop until after 30k miles.
I get it!!!

Hmm... i understand the look your tryin to get... but when i look at your car, my eyes keep going back to the face1 like, this doesnt belong here. BUT hey, if you like the look thats all that matters

I actually had to go this route. The Progressiv TE's in the correct widths and offsets were only offered with the Face 1 for the fronts and the Face 2 for the rears.
I was actually not happy with the rear TE-37's on the NSX not having the concave look (you can only get it on 10" rears or something).

I've never heard this before. I doubt people actually do that.

Very few people do this but it is at that about that mileage where the spring performance begins degrading (whether it is OEM or aftermarket). Most people don't notice it because it is gradual. Once the springs are replaced, the effect is very noticable.
