Default sport suspension question

yes another suspension thread..sorry!

but i've been looking into getting the H&R sport spring and Bilstein sport shock combo package. I currently have stock "sport" package suspension. i've seen varied oppinions on the results the new package would give me. So my question is it worth it to upgrade to the H&r/Bilstein package and will i see a difference from the sport suspension? i'm looking for a more aggressive ride height and also a stiffer ride with better performance

anybody out there have the same situation? any advice or reviews?

thanks for your time!

scroll down on that and that should answer your question for the height, for the stiffness you would have to find out the spring rates which i don't know of the top of my head.

The shocks will not goven the hight of the car only the springs.

I run H&R race spings on my car with stock sport shocks and it worked well for around 2 years and I have just swapped them out for RS4 shock which as stiffen it up even more.

Sports shock will look almost the same in stance to your current sport springs so don't bother just go straight gor the race springs.
