S techs & H&rs are cheaper than coils

Hotchkis drops 1.625" F, .875" R. For reference, F-sport is 1" all around. I run em on my car, and they're not bad for springs. Much better than the F-sports I had before. IMO they look better than H&R, but thats maybe because I hate the dumped look

i think there's 2 version of H&R.... and if you've got the $$$ for coils... why not... it's an improvement of both handling and comfort... depending on your settings..

springs will also give you an uneven drop if i remember correctly. the passenger side will be lower/higher than the driver side. its not very noticeable but it bothers some people.

I feel like people telling me I will have an uneven drop makes me think I have an uneven drop moreso than I actually do, or just looking at it at different angles. I've measured mine they're pretty close L-R. I guess some people's installation wasn't same L-R resulting in the disparancy.
