HELP!!! H&R Spring Kit, Which for daily driving & $$ value?

[CheaCheaBoy]

Ok
So I am looking foward to lower my car.
I would like an aggresive look and better handles.
So I thought by getting springs will do.

Then I check out the site...

There are many brands, but I got a recommendation for an H&R kit.

There are 2 kits

1.H&R Sport Springs Eclipse - Galant - Lancer - 3000GT - Mirage
$185.00 Free Shipping

1.Description
The most popular spring in H&R's line-up, Sport Springs will lower your vehicle an average of 1.5 - 2 inches (depending upon the make and model of your vehicle) for a lower center of gravity, improved handling and a more aggressive appearance. Sport springs feature a spring rate that is firmer than that of the OE Sport spring, but is still comfortable enough for daily use. Sport springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use.

2.Description
For those that want the ultimate in handling and an over-the-top, highly aggressive look-H&R Race Springs are the perfect solution. H&R Race Springs will lower your vehicle approximately 1.75-2.5 inches (depending on the make and model of your vehicle) and should be matched with high-quality, sport-tuned shock absorbers. H&R's new Triple C Camber Adjusters are also highly recommended. Race springs are best suited to racing and occasional street use. Ask your H&R Specialist for application guidelines.

Conclusion
The first one says its good for daily use, but the second one will give it a lower drop.
I drive my car daily, heading to college soon w/ car, don't race much, which kit?
Leave opinions.

In my opinion a 1.5" to 2" drop for 2g's is plenty. It still gives enough ground clearance, room for bigger rims, is still driveable as a daily driver, and looks more aggressive than stock height.

I have what I was told are H&R sports on my car. I hate how low it is but that may be your thing. Eventually I'm going to buy a Pro Kit and sell these things.

I have the sport springs and love them. the drop is just enough without being too much. While I an still on the stock shocks I did notice a differance in handling compaired to the stock springs. Race springs will lower you more than the sport ones and will also require shocks that can handle their high spring rate (koni).

I did the same kind of decision making and decided that the Sport springs make a lot more sense. You could get away with doing the $15 rear camber mod with those. The race springs might be pushing the limits of the $15 mod. Also, with a 2.0" front drop, you should get a front camber kit. You don't have to, as there are plenty of people who have a drop like that without one, but you probably should. Also, like ^ mentioned, you would need a set of performance shocks (not gr-2s and preferably better than Tokico blues) so you dont kill the shocks. Overall though, you have to decide what makes sense to you. If you have the extra money, buying a front camber kit and a set of AGXs or Konis (close to $500 total) along with the Race springs would certainly give you a lot better handling and a nicer look (opinion). If you're on a tighter budget, the Sports will look great and improve handling for a lot cheaper. Glad to see you're thinking through the process though and not just buying a set of 2" drop srings cuz you'll like the look without thinking about the supporting mods. Good luck and happy dropping!

PS: I realize this is rather convenient, but I have a set of H&R Sport springs for sale. I'm also selling my Tokico blues. (Upgrading to AGXs and Ground-Controls) I'd sell the springs for $125 +shipping or the whole package for $250 +shipping with the springs premounted for a bolt on job.
