Default 2003 H&R Springs

I want to upgrade my current suspension and have looked into using H&R Springs. There are two options available, the super sport and the race springs. Does anyone have any feedback on either of these two sets of springs? I want a good mix of performance and ride quality. I would like it to be lowered some and improve handeling without being very stiff, harsh and too low that i have to worry about scraping and bottoming out. This car is my daily driver and I am just looking to improve over stock. When researching H&R I found that they're a very credible and reliable company and would like to stick with their products.

H&R's are good springs. However, I would go with their Sport springs, not the Super Sport or Race springs, they would be way too stiff and probably lower the car too much for a daily driven car.

The H&R Sport or Eibach Pro-Kit would make good springs for a dialy driven car, and as long as you have a stock height tire or taller, then you should have ok ground clearance.

Only other thing you may need are camber/caster plates. Some cars need them to be aligned properly, some don't. Camber is usually the only andle that can't be brought to full spec.
