need help deciding which springs i am going to order this week. i like h&r b/c they look like they sit the lowest but i want to know is the spring rate better than stock. i want the lower stance but i want a solid spring rate. these are the ones i am most intrested so please comment if you have these and how you feel about them over stock springs!!!!!!!!!

are roadmagnets better as far as ride? how close is the drop from them. and are they not powder coated? i saw someone say that they are not!?!

and cobb ive seen them sit high ive seen them sit just perfect! is it all about installation? i know cobb has a good spring rate, but i want the best of both worlds.

i have unitll prob wednesday to decide any imput from people that have any of these springs or sell them would be most helpful
 
H&R are pretty much sold out everywhere, so trying to snag a set might be a tough one.
 
I have heard of people blowing struts early because of the H&R drop of 1.3. I have been told to try and keep the drop to 1 inch (Cobb, Eibach, Roadmagnet). I am trying to not completely mod out in a year, so I will drop in the spring, but I have already decided on roadmagnet myself.
 
I've had the H&R springs on my MS3 for 6 months with no issues at all. I love the ride and height of these springs. I'm running Enkei evo 5's 18x7.5 +45 offset with stock tires and have no rubbing issues at all.
 
Thank you everyone for the info! i know there is reviews of each one but i wanted to see everyones collected thoughts!
 
springs

I have a set of H&R, new in box... i had ordered these, but ended up going with the roadmagnet. I'd be willing to let them go for $350 shipped (that's how much I paid) If interested, PM
 
I haven't found a lot of information on the Road Magnet springs. Has anyone compared them to Cobb? From what I can tell, the RM's provide a more noticeable drop and are firmer than Cobb. The RM's are also progressive while the Cobb springs are not (?).

Obviously the RM's lower the car more, but do the Cobb springs offer "better" (as in improved track times) performance? Which would be less bouncy with the stock dampers?

+1 I'm interested in hearing about this too. I prefer the RM ride height, but how does the performance compare between the two?
 
I do prefer progressive springs. From my experience they give you a smoother ride under normal driving conditions, but handle just like other springs when you treat it like that.
