Default I can't make a decision about coil springs

Ok guys, help me out. I either want to buy stock springsor H&R super sports to replace my springs and i just can't decide. I don't have the money to replace the struts too so if i get the super sports how rough will the ride be? Will it be unbearable or just a little harder? But with the super sports i also get better handling and such. Not sure if thepros outweigh the cons. Give me your opinions Thanks

I'd go with the H&Rs, I love mine and they make awesome springs. You could always get struts and shocks at a later time.

why do you wanna buy stock springs, are they broken? ususally springs dont wear out much, you may just need new shocks and struts

if you get lowering springs you should really get shocks/struts at the same time

not many gravel roads around here i think they would be ok, and the improvement in handling would be worth it

Get the H&R SS springs & when you get more money you can get some shocks & struts.
