Default need help choosing lowering springs!

i was looking into getting some aftermarket lowering springs and noticed that the spoon sports lowering springs drop the car 1 inch, while skunk2 dropped the car 1.5-2". i was looking into the skunk2 or tein s-tech springs because they are half the price of the spoon kit. has anybody had any experience with the skenk2 or tein lowering springs? which kit would have better and stiffer rates? i want the car to look nice and low also. please any input would be greatly appreciated

dude you have a cr. Best suspension of any s2k. Why would you wanna ruin it by putting aftermarket crap on it. You might as well of bought the base 08 if you wanna put an aftermarket suspension on it. That's what makes the CR. Please stick with the stock suspension.

If you really HAVE to drop it then I wouldn't settle for anything less than the KW V3 coilovers. Especially on a car with an almost near perfect suspension from factory.

the spoon sports progressive springs wont do it? these spring are stiffer than mine im assuming but nit by much. since the cr shocks are valved for such a stiff spring already would the spoon springs really make my handling worse? it only will drop the ride height 1 inch

did some more reasearch and found that spoon srpings have almost the exact same spring rates at skunk2 spring, and skunk2 are half the price. since my cr shocks are valved for a stiffer spring wouldnt these springs do fine with my oem shocks will performing basically like oem?
