I think with the two choices you picked you will be happy with either set. H&R makes nice stuff, i think i would go that route, but im not sure. I like the Espeliers

make sure you get some konis or whatever with the springs, or else you might be replacing your stock shocks very soon

I ONLY buy items INSTOCK from now on.....

That includes EVOLUTION!!!!.......


Seriously..........I don't need coilovers. My car is for show....I don't track or auto-x so no need for the fine tuning of the full coilover setup.

But for the bling....I probably WILL get a BBK...

If need be I'll be getting yellows......but until then I'll stay on stocks...

There are a lot of people locally running lower drops than the H&R's with stockers.

I wouldn't worry too much, mine has some Eibachs lowering about 2" with stock shocks. I've had it over 1.5 yrs with no issues from the shocks.

I know that but is it true, from what I see, some people only get maybe 10k more out of the stock shocks when they slap springs on, but then some get much more than others, but there are several who have had the life span of the shocks change dramatically.

Hrm, odd, anyone going to WTD can see them this weekend, but I'll have 19k on my shocks by the time I get there.

H&R springs aren't very stiff at all. If you plan on keeping your stock shocks for the long haul, then H&R is the answer. KG/MM's have quite a bit higher spring rate and will probably wear your shocks faster.
