Help me pick some new springs!

Currently i have eibach sportlines and i want to go a lil bit lower. I was looking at going with h&r but they have 2 different syles i dont know which 1 to choose . I really dont want to be sittin on the ground,it looks good but with the roads around me i scrape as it is. Someone give me some ideas and brands pleeze so i can make up my mind.

I have h and r sports and love the stance. If your scraping on sportlines tho then these will be too low for your liking imo

Yes H&R sports give the best practical drop. If they are to low I would look at SSC or Progress.

no i dont, but i would imagine the drop is pretty close to eibach sportlines or pedders, both are made for performance

but since u dont have ss suspension, the drop might be more for you than it would be for me.

After seeing this thread I would rather get the sports, I think there is too much of a rake with the Race springs.
