Advice on my next purchase

Want to lower my car. Have no clue on what springs to get. I would like to hear from you guys, what springs you have installed and the pros and cons of each and also, your recommendations.
Thank you.

Hey, just got CT's installed about 3 weeks ago and I looooove them. Worth the extra $, you won't regret it. Not to low, but a very tasteful/clean drop! And you will still enjoy your luxury ride!

CT will give you the best performance. Any lower and you're really just talking about your cosmetic preference.

If you post your email I can send you a bunch of pics of various drops.

BTW CT sways are a far better handling uprgade than springs.

In order of importance I would do:

1. tires
2. sways
3. springs/shocks

Not necessarily true, I have had both H&R's and CT's on my car, the H&R' (sports) handled better than the CT's, the CT's are more comfortable than the H&R's.... not that CT's don't handle ok, but the H&R's were noticeably better .... however, I prefer the H&Rs as a good balance between handling and comfort.

I really like my H&R OE Sport Springs. Not a very drastic drop. Ride quality the same as with factory springs. Just a better "look" IMO.

CT springs combined with a system in the trunk would look nice. If only CT had dropped the booty a tad bit lower in the rear. As for the ride, I can't complain especially with the Koni Adj shocks and CT sways.

I have 18's w/ H&R Sports. I love the way the car looks now, to me it's a perfect drop. I haven't noticed a difference in the ride quality either.
