Default Problems with H&R coilovers?

I'm planning to upgrade the suspension on my recently acquired 225TTQC, and I'm trying to decide between coilovers and new springs/shocks. I'd like to lower the car by about 1.5 in. From reading through old posts, I noticed some people a while back had complained about creaking and other issues with H&R coilovers. I just wonder if H&R has fixed these issues. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has this type of setup.

Default thanks for the help

Judging from the number of replies to this thread, it seems H&R coilovers are not as popular as Bilstein PSS9s. I'm looking at the H&R's in particular because I can probably get them for a good price. I'll probably end up getting them.

Default not as popular, no, but they've both had some issues...

lightweight had the bilstein units, and the spring went retarded. my h&r's did the same.

the new h&r's, though, are a different design.

if you want FULL adjustability, go with KW.
