Lowering Springs need U input

Just purchased a 2.2 CL. Thinking of lowering it, don't know what brand of springs to get.

Found several cup kits on ebay that sells for $100 or less are these good? SO I can adjust the height whenever I needed.

I know Eibach or Neuspeed offers sports spring at a premium, how low is the drop? I down want to go so low like the racing coils offer. Will I hit the buttom whenever I drive over a hump at 5 mph?
I have an Audi A4 that sported H&R springs sports spring - problem it hit the buttom when I drive over the hump.

Need some of your devine wisdom......

Thanks for the feedback CLStyle!
Yeah I thought I had post this on the dicussion site instead got it on the gallery. Will try to move to tomorrow.

Do you have to purchase the alignment kit/camber guide that Tirerack sells when you lowered your CL? thinking that's only applicable when you have sportsline springs. Prokit is more expensive $225. Do you know of other sites or shop that offers the same for cheaper price?

Perfer AUdi compare to VW.... VW are and will be a step below Audi and of course Acura's.
Compare Acura vs Audi? Hard for me to tell at this time, I have not driven a 4 cyclinder car for long time. I have 6 cyclinders on all of my cars including the Audi. I like the power of 6 cyc, very smooth, lots of torque especially when driving up hill and when passing. The Acura is primary for my wife, I would have opted for a 3.0 but she is complaining about gas consumption so I had to settle with the 2.2. So far I am impress with the Vtec 2.2, it's has a great get up. Was close on getting a 318it - BMW, but after reading the review of lack of muscle on it's 1.8 engine, I opted to go with the CL instead. I'm glad I did! Classy lines, rich interiors and very roomy. My wife was impressed.

I have the 2wd version of the Audi with trac control. Got tiptronic option, which means I can switch between auto and manual on the fly. This much I know, Audi Quattro's sucks as far reliability! Read lots of bad reviews on the quattro's especially when the car is over 50K miles. Their 2wd sister is much more dependable and less pron to mechanical problem. A4 is small very compact and very fun to drive. Not to brag , I raced a vtec civic and creamed the guy by 2 cars - I did have a handycapped I have 4 passengers with me... any did not expect me to win but I did.

Back to the CL... after seeing your car - nice ride btw! I am itching to lower it down. Don't want too low, I really like the drop on your car.
Gracias! Peace!
