4.6iS on H&R Sport Springs?

Hi all,

I'm thinking of lowering my 4.6iS (more for the look) with the H&R Sport Springs.

And I am wondering how different the H&R Sport Springs would be in terms of ride comfort and handling, comparing to the original "Sports" suspension?

Would love to hear from anyone who might have the same set up ;-)

Thanks.

Doesn't change the look that drastcally. Search this forum for pics. Better off saving money and getting is front coilovers and lower the rears airbags. H&R springs will prematurely wear out your struts

Thanks for the reply.

Actually I do not want the drop to be too drastic, it's more of "fine tuning" to go with the Spacers I'm adding as well.

I found quite a few thread on this forum and confirmed I like the look. I'm just not sure about how it is different from the Sports Suspension. Most of the thread did not mention if it's with Sports or have air suspension.

But I'll keep searching ;-)
