So I've been ready to get some lowering springs for quite sometime now. But I'm having the hardest time picking which springs to go with. I'm looking at F sport lowering springs and H&R lowering springs. I know a lot of you will tell me to get coilover but I don't plan on messing or adjusting ride height and all the suspension gizmo stuff that coilover has. I just want to some feed back from F sport springs and H&R springs owner.

Also interested to hear feedback on these products, I know H&R is lower, I'd choose it over the F-Sport, guess it depends if you want to be "low" or "lower"

I vote for Swift. I believe it's the only linear one. The drop is 1 inch front / 0.8 inch rear

Whats your milage? If your car isn't new, and is in the 60k+ milage range, I recommend coilovers as your stock shocks won't last too much longer. Then you have to pay more money to get the shocks replaced!
If its a new car then sure, lowering springs will work great ... then eventually when your shocks go out you can upgrade to coils. Thats what I did

I rode on H&R after doing a good bunch of research and still being relatively skeptical.
I was looking for amoderate drop at the time while trying to maintain ride quality as I liked the comfort of stock and didn't know what to expect.
I installed it and was very surprised. Being relatively picky about these things, the ride really felt close to stock. With moderate wheel offsets, I did not rub either so it was great. The ride is slightly stiffer, you do notice a bit more feedback from the road but this also made the handling more responsive.
The drop was also very even and noticeable. I think it is the best way to go if you want the comfort but want a noticeable sporty drop.
Regards,
