F-Sport or H&R? Need opinions please
Hello, Im thinking of purchasing some Lowering springs. I dont know which one to choose from. I know that a lot of people bash on the F-Sport, but the thing is I dont want to go to low because I live in washington I still need to get through the snow. I just want a decent drop that will hopefully remove some finger gap. And reading the H&R drop its around 1.3 or 1.4, is that much difference compared to the F-Sport? If anyone has some pictures that would be great.
Thanks!
Thanks!

since your 2is is a 2006 with mileages stacked I assume.. I would just go coils or f-sport shocks+springs route.
Edited: Didn't know you have AWD. FYI most 2is AWDs that lowered their car do experience noises of some sort after lowering. Just something you might want to think about.

Highly recommended!

Hi!
Finally my H&R arrived. I will install tomorrow the H&R and the F-Sport Shocks. I will see how harsh it is and how the handling changes. If it is too much, I will switch back to the stock shocks. Am very curious... Another member here did some research and found that H&R springs are developed to harmonize with Bilstein shocks (F-Sports are Bilstein). H&R and Bilstein are both german companies and are located not even an hours drive from each other. This combination is highly regarded in terms of handling. Harshness, well I have to try it myself I guess, will report back tomorrow night.
