Default Need Spring Comparisons (Poll) Explain why?

Please advise me which spring is better for looks and the car. But keep below requirements in mind:

I have 18" TE-37 on, with 255 rear (rubbing is a concern)
I want to lower the car to a very aggresive height
I dont mind harsh ride, but do not like soft bouncing all day.

i've had 2 of the listed brands on my car for extended periods of time.....

i have 18" SSR GT1's.

H & R's - too soft, constant bouncing/rebounding, more body roll than stock, good ride, no rubbing, not too low.

KG/MM's - firmer, no constant bouncing/rebounding, less body roll than stock, excellent ride, aggressive drop and STILL no rubbing.

regards.

Front - 18x8 225/40/18
Rear - 18x9 255/35/18

i think the offsets are 48 and 55 - not sure which one's front and which one's rear.

KG/mm DR21 Race springs would be perfect for your application.

I got 18" OZ Superlegs (+45 f, +55 r) and I have no rubbing/scratching issues. Ride quality is as TKG described.

Please let me know if you want to see pics.

Hope this helps!
