Default Lowering Springs?

Hi guys
I am planning to lower my car with springs but don't know which springs to buy. I'd appreciate if you guys tell me your experience with your spring.
I'd thought about doing coilovers but their a bit over my budget.

There's tons of info in the suspension and brake thread. After reading pages and pages on suspension I decided to go with H&R springs based on the reviews of members on here. Another popular spring is the f-sport springs.

What's your budget? How low u want to go? H&r and f sport don't give u much of a drop. Get coilover u will regret with Springs there's alot of good used bc coilover on CL around 600-700 or get megan for even cheaper. Do it right the first time! U will have a much better ride quality and adjustable suspension

Post H&r

I also went with H&R Springs and I really like them. They go lower than F-Sport accessory springs. I didn't care for going too low or spending a lot so I didn't bother with coilovers; I mainly just wanted to get rid of the stock wheel gap.

H&R with Koni Struts are usually the best setup...
