Default F Sport springs or something different?

I want to drop my car a little. Maybe a inch or so. Are the f sport springs a good choice or should I go with some of the other brands. Not looking to slam it on the ground. Just a subtle drop to keep a decent ride.

H&R springs would be a better choice. it drops it slightly more than F sport, and seems to fit your description of what you are looking for.

It drops it 1.4" front and 1.3" rear. (Fsport is 1.0" F and R)

If you are getting springs F sport otherwise go coilovers. I have f sport and any lower I would be bottoming out going into some very steep parking lots.

For everyday use, you can't be the F's. I've had mine for three years now. The ride is great and the worry for scraping isn't an issue except for the steepest of driveways and jumbo speed bumps.
