Alright ladies, as you know my rims are on the UPS truck and enroute to my place of residence. After my new shoes are installed, i'll be moving towards a new suspension. I've done my homework, but would like to find B5 owner's who originally had sport suspension on their car and upgraded to either coilovers or springs/shocks to get their input.

Now - the sport suspension drops the car 20mm over stock (about .75"), but i want to lower it a bit more without over doing it. Afterdoing some math,here are my calculations taking into consideration the existing .75" drop for the sport suspension
[ul][*]H&R Sport Springs/Bilstein shocks ( .5" F / .25" R)[*]H&R Race Springs/Bilstein shocks ( 1.15" F / .75" R)[*]Coilovers (fully adjustable w/ride dampening adjustment)[/ul]
Questions:
[ul][*]Are the H&R sports springs really worth it if it is only going to yield a .5" F and .25" R drop?[*]Are the H&R race springs too aggresive, slammingit to the point that i'll scrape on gum wrappers?[*]Are coilovers really that much of a pain in the *** to adjust that i'll probably "set & forget" them, making the additional cost of this set not worth it other than to get the exact drop i want? (i know, everyone praises coilovers)[/ul]
I'd like to see what you've done to your sport suspension that yieldeddesired results without sacrificing ride or the underside of your car.

I know this has been discussed a million times, and opinions will vary. I have a chance to get a set of used coilovers for $670, but they have 30k on them. I'd like to, but ikeep hearing the horror stories of everyone trying to adjust their coilovers.

As always, thanks!
