Which lowering springs?

Hi,

I´m looking for lowering springs that are sporty to drive but still have the best comfort as possible, lowering my ride about 1"

What would be your choice?

What´s your experience?

Thanks a lot!

If you are interested in a brand new set of H&R springs I have a set in box and never used.
I went with the Eibach pro kit instead.

Since u r in Germany I would buy H@R springs. I have them on mine and love the ride. I went with the sport spring that is 1.4 in front and 1.3 in back. Also have 22's, not sure what it would look like on stock wheels setup. my .02

@UF4LIFE102SS: Why do you recommend H&R especially for Germany?

No real big reason they r just made there. All springs will work just a name thing. I just seen a CAMARO on here that i liked the look and he had H@R and that sold me.

Don't over look Pedders,they are a very high quality spring and don't require the bump stops to be cut.They cost a little more but you get what you pay for.

Unless they've changed, they are just reboxed Eibachs.

Contrary to what someone posted above, there can be a HUGE difference between springs. If you want a good spring from a good company, look around before you buy. Plenty of reading on here with the help of the search button. Most of not all the vendors or manufacturers will ship overseas.
