| 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 |

| I would go for the Brabus since you mentioned how bad the roads are around your area, the brabus will be the softest or let me rephrase that and say the closest to oem feel.

| Eibach b/c it's cheaper and is similar to Brabus, H&R has traditionally been stiffer than Eibach.
