Need opinion!!

One of my first acuall posts here. I drive an 09 coupe and im putting wheels on it next year but need the 4x4 status gone. I'm putting a 16" wheel wrapped with a 215-50 tire. my options for springs are either stock ss/tc springs or the Eibach pro-kit. Im really looking to have decent looking apperance with not looking slammed or to much wheel gap. Everyone has an opinion so lets here them!

Everyone here is going to say "go with the eibach sportlines they are the best man" But really it all depends on what you wan the Sportlines are nice from what i hear. I have to B&G springs i like them you dont get any bounce like you normally do when you lower your car. It gets rid of all the wheel gap i can probably put two fingers in there. And the ride is really no different then stock. I have also heard some good things about the tenzos but they just seem a little cheep to me. But just look into it and let some people tell you what they think. There is also a thread with pictures of cars and what springs they have on them you could look there and see how its going to drop your car but good luck. and congrats on the first post

i've read around and the stock ss/tc springs are about one inch correct? We get quite a bit of snow in upstate NY and i dont want to switch my springs out every year to avoid the snow plow status.
