I am also interested... I've searched a few different threads on this, but seemed to only find scattered information.

My priorities (in this order) are:

Ride Quality
Aesthetics (gap and fitment)
Shock Durability
Handling Improvement

i don't think you should just install springs but the whole coilover set

I just put H&R OE Springs (1 inch drop) on my car along with 20/25 spacers F/R. I think the setup is perfect!

Crazydude... how would you compare the ride quality with those springs vs. stock?

The ride is slightly more senstive to bumps and uneven surface... but overall not much difference.
