Help me choose Lowering springs
So I've been ready to get some lowering springs for quite sometime now. But I'm having the hardest time picking which springs to go with. I'm looking at F sport lowering springs and H&R lowering springs. I know a lot of you will tell me to get coilover but I don't plan on messing or adjusting ride height and all the suspension gizmo stuff that coilover has. I just want to some feed back from F sport springs and H&R springs owner.

Also interested to hear feedback on these products, I know H&R is lower, I'd choose it over the F-Sport, guess it depends if you want to be "low" or "lower"

I vote for Swift. I believe it's the only linear one. The drop is 1 inch front / 0.8 inch rear

Whats your milage? If your car isn't new, and is in the 60k+ milage range, I recommend coilovers as your stock shocks won't last too much longer. Then you have to pay more money to get the shocks replaced!
If its a new car then sure, lowering springs will work great ... then eventually when your shocks go out you can upgrade to coils. Thats what I did

I rode on H&R after doing a good bunch of research and still being relatively skeptical.
I was looking for amoderate drop at the time while trying to maintain ride quality as I liked the comfort of stock and didn't know what to expect.
I installed it and was very surprised. Being relatively picky about these things, the ride really felt close to stock. With moderate wheel offsets, I did not rub either so it was great. The ride is slightly stiffer, you do notice a bit more feedback from the road but this also made the handling more responsive.
The drop was also very even and noticeable. I think it is the best way to go if you want the comfort but want a noticeable sporty drop.
Regards,
