Default Lowering Springs!!!!

I'm getting ready to lower my car and am definitely getting the KYB adj. shocks/struts and the M/M caster and camber plates. My question is about the springs. I notices that the Ford Racing C-Springs are like 100 bucks cheaper than the Eibach and H and R springs. are the C-sproings not that good or are the others really over priced?

The Ford springs and the Eibach Pro Kit are cosmetic. H&R and Eibach Sportlines are for performance.

does that mean that the H and R make the ride smoother too or just handle better when cornering.
and do you know aboutneeding to replace thecontrol arms?

the ford springs are not purely cosmetic. they have a higher spring rate than the stock springs, along with lowering the car. none of them are going to make the car smoother than stock, aftermarket shocks and struts will do more for that than the springs will. I have the c-springs and KYB AGXs on my car, and the handling improved noticeably over stock. I have no idea why the ford springs are cheaper, but I haven't had any problems, nor have I ever heard of anyone having problems with them.
