Lowering Springs
Also depends on what size wheels you plan to match with the suspension. My stock 16's with my H&R cup kit looks nice, but with my 19's looks very aggressive! They fill the gap completely. 
Coilovers are definitely the Best choice though.

You can cut a coil to drop it more but I caution doing that on H&R springs... H&R springs seem to be a bit bouncy but it won't hurt the suspension at all as long as you dont cut to many coils... your best bet would be to go with coilovers if your willing to spend the money... your looking at spending over a $1000 for a set of coilovers... I just ordered a set of H&R CO's for $1100

nope, sorry...
But after I upgraded my brakes 16's won't fint anymore. I have the C7 17" wheels as my other set of wheels now.
