So I'm getting 19" wheels for my car and I'm gonna do an alignment as well. I figure I might as well get lowering springs to complete the look, and I'll need to do that before the alignment to make sure everything is perfect. I don't want to go for a complete coilover kit because this is just for looks. The stock ride is harsh enough for me (bad Baltimore roads), so I would like to maintain that or even go a little softer if possible. I also don't want to go too low because I'm already scraping the front bumper. With this, I think these are my three options. Which do you guys think I should go with?

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
$232 from Tire Rack
1" drop

H&R Sport Springs
$268 from Tire Rack
1.2" drop

Brabus Lowering Springs
$389 from EuroTeck Motorsports
Not sure what the drop is, but it looks pretty sweet with 19s
