Trying to decide on springs...

Hey everyone, I am not new to the forum but I was gone for a while. I will be coming back with a new '09 FA5 pretty soon. I want to lower the car immediately after buying using one of the following:

~ Eibach Sportlines F 1.4" & R 1.4"
~ Tein S-Tech F 1.4" & R 1.3"
~ Progress F 1.3" & R 1.2"
~ H&R Sport F 1.5" & R 1.3"
~ Neuspeed Sport F 1.6" & R 1.6"

I would like feedback from members that have had or currently have any of these springs. Which ones should I get? Thanks

Out of those listed: Eibach or H&R

For best results pair with aftermarket dampers. Company choices are:

KONI
Tokico
Skunk2

Not all aftermarket dampers are created equal.

I was leaning towards one of these three:

~ Tein S-Tech F 1.4" & R 1.3"
~ Progress F 1.3" & R 1.2"
~ H&R Sport F 1.5" & R 1.3"

Due to the fact that the front is lower than the back and I like that slanted aggressive look.

I have H&R on my ride and the ride is really nice. Its not to bouncy or hard.

Do you have any current pictures with the H&R's installed?
