go with vogtland springs, I think they offer the most aggressive drop as far as just springs.. and honestly that's the going rate here in North Jersey.. 250/springs 300 install.

The e350 stock drives as i envision and i would hate to lower it and be disappointed with the feel, etc... Thus wasting more money reverting back.
Though many have stated with 19" rims and lowered, its not much different than stock. If i was to lower, i probably wouldn't do the vogtland as my thought would be the lower it is, the harsher the ride?? with that said, i would do the H&R Springs. Am i correct with that assumption?

I'm in the same boat. I just want it little lower so I'm gonna go with H&R.
I'm also trying to maintain the ride as close to stock with 20s. I feel that the 19s might look too close in size to the stock 18 wheel so I opted for 20s. They definitely don't look too big in person. They look almost just right for the size of the car.

I haven't felt much of a difference so far by going to 20s. I'm still driving it gently tho.
The stock 18s had 35 series tires too.

Not bad but I like the other better. 5 stars are just getting played out to much. Some do look good but go with something newer and different.

Decided to change it up
Before I powder coat the rims, I decided to plasti dip to ensure I like the look and I must say, I love it. I did them in white and then used their pearlized color to get it color matched to my car, which is satin pearl. Snapped a few pics
