Default Megans VS H&R

I am looking for a couple years use out of lowering springs, then im putting back in the stocks.

Megans is 1.25"
H&R is 1.4"-1.3"

I am really looking to sit low for a reasonable price. Is it worth paying double for H&R for a tenth of an inch? Is there a noticeable difference in ride height?

What else is out there for <$200 that will give you a good 1.5" drop?

Thanks!

I'd seriously give the Tein S techs a good look. Got them directly from Tein for $180 used through eBay. So far, the ride is stiff but the car is soo much more fun to drive than before the springs. Haven't found any downsides to these springs other than me wanting to go lower! However, for the price I paid, I'm pretty satisfied overall.

to the OP, i'd avoid the megan racing springs. i've heard bad testimonials about its associated ride quality.

if you're looking to spend <$200 for lowering springs, i recommend tein s-techs.
