Exclamation H&R Spring Question

I want to order some H&R sport springs for my 07' , but i have a few questions.

- I cant seem to find any for an 07' but they must exist somewhere
- Will it look funny at all? I just it to be about an inch lower or so just to give it a different look
- Is it bad for other parts of the suspension
- I wanna spend around 400 max, I am headed to college in about 3 or so weeks in Newport, RI so i don't think the roads are bad there

I would appreciate any input I am looking to buy these today!

I dont think it'll be much lower for your car. The front probably wont change much, but the back will go down a bit. Ya gotta cut half a coil cut up front if you do it to get rid of all the wheel gap.

Your shocks weren't designed for the stiff spring rate, so you'll end up shortening the life of your shocks and the ride probably won't be so great. My advice... do it right or don't do it at all.
