Default About to order suspension... Help

Ordering suspension need advice
So i'm thinking about one of two kits and am unsure which to go with...

Now, what I'm looking for is a stiffer ride and better handling than stock as well as getting rid of as much of the wheel gap as possible (mind you, I'm still on stock 16's for a while longer so i understand that I"m still going to have some gap until i get my 18s)

Now the real question is how many of you have or used to have either of these kits and do you have pics? and what are your thoughts on each?



Stupid links not working cause you have to select the car..

So it's:
H&R's Sport Cup Kit

or

H&R's Touring Cup Kit



Thanks in advance,

Yeah, I would much prefer the coils rather than springs and shocks but i am putting this on a credit account which is only valid at tirerack, so unfortunately i can't pick them up just yet...

Thats the thing, I don't want to get super low, I just want to have maybe a 1/2 to 1 inch gap and also have a tight comfortable ride.

Not to mention I've read a few threads on those cheapy coil kits (racelandus.com) and there aren't very many good reviews.

hmm...i recommend vogtalnd coils.

best bang for the buck IMO.

but...i did at one point told myslef i was definitely going to get those two cup kits you mentioned. but you said u wanted a 1 inch- 1/2 inch wheel gap....that will be impossible with those cup kits. those cup kits will likely drop ur ride 1.4 inches max. leaving a decent wheel gap but definitely lower.
