Lowering Springs
Just got my 2017 c43 coupe 2 weeks ago and am incredibly excited. I know there are many posts on the forum about this but they seem to jump around between sedan and coupe and they are somewhat confusing. Just a simple question, what lowering springs should I get and where? and also what spacers do I need? 
Thanks in advance!

I've had H&R on several of my previous cars and really enjoyed them. I was seriously thinking of going with the KW HAS this time around, but I can't see how the ~$600 price premium over the H&R is worth it in anyway. Yes, the adjustable height would be nice, but not at that price point. They should be no more than ~$400 IMO.

If you want set it and forget springs - The H&R's look decent on the coupe. They have some nasty reverse rake on the sedans.

Didn't know that H&R made those. My argument stands for these as well, too much of a price increase. Remove the springs from the equation and the extra parts cost $600? I understand that they are adjustable and I would prefer these over normal springs to get that just right look, but not at that price point. Decent coilovers start at only a couple hundred more.
Customer value is determined by what a product or service is worth to the customer. As much as I would prefer this setup, it doesn't provide good value to this customer at the current price point. I'll keep and eye out for a sale somewhere, but $500 is the max I would pay.

Reverse rake? Are there different springs for the sedan?

They're the same springs... the coupe and cab are heavier cars than the sedan. The weight differential must be front end based
