Default H&R/Bilstein vs. L-tuned springs/shock set

Does anyone have any thoughts on the H&R springs/Bilstein shocks versus the L-tuned springs/shocks modification?

My preference is the H&R/Bilstein setup simply because it offers a lower drop - 1.5 inches versus 1 inch. My first priority is the handling aspect. Which one is better?

If anyone that has done the L-tuned route would comment on this as well as anyone who has done the H&R/Bilstein mod please comment on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

You will get a little better performance with the Bilstein shocks.

Default Thanks!

Thanks for your input!

What springs/shocks are you getting for your car?

I have the L-sportline (Eibachs & Bilsteins). Ride is a little stiffer than stock-I have to slow for speedbumps now, but it sure does look and handle better. The L-tuned car I was in seemed to be a little less harsh but seemed to have more body roll (maybe sway bars are needed- I have upgraded bushings). Good luck deciding which way to go.
