Suspension Swap-out

Ok, basically here are the two choices that I have questions about. The following information was taken from shox.com. I have purchased products from them before, and was happy with the service:

Option 1.
$1104.00 H&R Street Performance Coil Over 2000 - 2009 Part # 29367-1 C230 Sport Coupe & Sport Sedan. C240, C320. Lowering 1.2"-2.2" F / 1.0"-2.0" R. Wheel Spacers May Be Required When Standard Wheel And Tire is Being Used. Ride Height May Vary Due To Vehicle Options.

Option 2.
$1023.40 Koni FSD/Eibach Pro kit 2001 - 2009 #2150-4046 free shipping

Yes, I have about $1k burning a hole in my pocket. The suspension in my 230K is pretty rough right now... hitting 116K miles, original setup. I am a sporty driver per se... I lean into corners and burst out... and I don't mind a bump or two... I would like the idea of lowering the car a bit, but want to keep the slanted stance it has right now...

What are your thoughts? Or, is there a cheaper way to go? I do, keeping my fingers crossed, plan to keep the car another 50-75k...

I'd throw on some H&R springs and slap on some koni yellows. Good stance and adjustable dampening can't go wrong. Plus the yellows are rebuildable.

definitely need spacers with the h&r coils on stock wheels if you want it lower than stock height.
