If daily drive lowering springs are what you're looking for, Vogtland (who makes for Koni) or H&R should be considered. A good set of coilovers would be the wiser choice though.

I have the H&R sports I really like them. Nice drop without slamming it. If you intend on keeping the stock struts I would recommend getting as little of a drop as possible. After only 1k with the H&Rs (which are pretty mild as far as springs go) my front drivers side strut started leaking oil. My car only had 55k on it at the time. I realize this might not be the case for everyone but that was my experience with lowering springs.

Anyways, instead of just replacing that single strut I decided to go with Koni Yellows all around and couldn't be happier. Its a great combo.

I wouldn't buy anything from Madness. They sold me exhaust that wasn't what their website claimed. Dishonest vendor.

I've had no problems with anything I've bought from Madness. George has been one of the more helpful people I've spoken too.
