IMO., H&R sports doesn't lower the ride that much.. 1.4" front, 1.2" rear i think.. may b that's one of the reason that ppl r sellin' bac.. for me., i hav H&R super sports n' i'm not impressed.. i want to go lower than that.. it says 1.7" front n' 1.8" rear ride drop but in real life., i dun think so.. so., if u r thinkin' abt gettin ur ride lowered., i suggest, go for coilovers..

My guess is a lot of guys are changing to coilovers for the option to lower a raise the suspension any time, it’s about taste.

it has stiffer feeling but not as much as coilovers.. n' improves handling a lil' bit.. still rides smooth..

I just changed from Sports to Super Sports...

iT's all a matter of personal taste, the Sports only lowered my C300 by close to half an inch on all four corners whereas the Super Sports has lowered it by close to an inch with zero wheel gap and no rubbing on all corners but judging by how it is now, my car can still go lower by half an inch with no problem

I prefer the Super Sports on both looks and comfort, but then again not all people would like an aggressive drop... the Sports will still give your car a much more better stance when compared to stock once it settles

Any springs you see on the web are generic usually.

Here are pics of my car when it was dropped. I had the dealer drop the car before I even took deliver. I gave them my SuperSports which were red as well.
