[glnr13]

Or H&R race.

true.

OP here's a few more that many on these boards have used:

vogtland
eibach
ireland engineering
lowtec
st

all work fine for daily. many recommend doing shocks at the same time.

23" Diameter tires.
HR sport


IE3=HR race

[MR 325]

H&R Sport are great for a mild drop while retaining some comfort.

H&R Race or Ireland Engineering Stage 3 are great for a bit more drop and firmer feel.

Pair either one with some Bilstein Sports or Koni Sports.

[Maximum_E30]

H&R race/sport use a progressive spring rate compared to anything eibach(ie3) has a fixed rate. H&R will be more of a forgiving ride, ie3 will be stiffer so it comes down to personal preference. IE3 are cheaper than H&R race by like 40ish dollars also.

Depends on what you want the car to feel like.

Personally I like my H&R Sport + Bilstein Sport combo.
Rides better then stock (just as comfortable, but a little firmer). Doesn't have a jarring ride over bumps like a racecar.

I've heard good things about thicker sways with this setup. That will be my route in the future.

My only wish was that the rear was a little lower. Maybe it will settle over time?
