Default Choosing Springs...need help

I've been looking for a while trying to choose what springs I am going to get. I have narrowed it down to three different sets. Either NF210's, Espelirs or H&R. I'm rockin 245/35's all around on 20x7.5 +42.

NF210's seem like a good choice but my car doesn't look too much lower in the front than the back.

H&R's seem like they would be a good choice but I've read that the ride isn't that great.

Espelir's seem like they give me the aggressive drop that I want but I'm afraid that I'm gunna rub.

I need opinions fellas. What would you choose for my wheel steup

Are you talking about the ASD springs? I was looking at a website and it said that they drop 2.2F/1.2R. Is this right? Seems low. People on here says they drop 1.7in the front

what up BigBea,
what about TEIN S.Tech or High Tech? is TEIN wack?
according to the catalog specs the S.Tech will give you a 1.8 drop in the front and a 1.7 drop in the rear and the High Tech's will give you a 1.2 drop in the front and a 1.1 drop in the rear. they go for 300 for the S.techs and 310 for the High Techs.

If they're close to the same price I'd rather the Espelir's. I've heard soo many good things about the spring rate.
