Dropping ?
Consider getting shocks while you're at it. If you're gonna pay labor to put in new springs, your OEM shocks aren't gonna last too long, due to the change in height. Inquire about Koni Yellows, Tokico (Blues or Illuminas), to name a couple companies. All depends on your budget. I would recommend OEM shocks, if you're gonna keep it close to stock height, otherwise you might be better off with aftermarket ones.

well these springs are just temporary until i get my coils, so you think i could just stick with the stock shocks and be fine?
If they're temporary (eg less than a year) then I wouldn't buy new shocks. Why don't you go with the coils right away and save the money on labor??? If you don't have the $$$ now, then save up and that $$$ on labor can go towards other mods. My
I would agree with Derrick also with his sound advice. Unless you're doing it yourself, and therefore saving on installation/labor cost, it would be more prudent to just save up enough money until you do have enough for the coilovers and then just install them. Otherwise it's kind of a waste of money to pay for labor/installation cost and the cost of the H&R springs.
Also when you are thinking about lowering, there are other consequences as I've found out. You may or may not need a camber kit (depends on the drop height), which cost more money again. If you don't install a camber kit, when you do need it, it will end up costing you more money again in the future when your tires wear down faster or unevenly.
But if you just wanted to have makeshift H&R spring drop with stock shocks, then you *should* be fine.
