Help needed

I'm looking to do a suspension, and I'm wondering if the H&R sport springs are the best for the amount of money spent. I'm looking to lower the ride height about 1.5 to 2 inches. Any suggestions? Pictures? Thanks.

You'll only lower the R56 1.2-1.4in with springs. H&R are about the lowest around.

So there isnt any other company that sells springs that make it a little lower for around the same amount of money?

You don't have safe travel to drop it 2 inches without substantial modifications. Some do, but it is unsafe running with basically no suspension.
