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 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!

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