FWIW, no cars are exactly the same... my '11 stock height is "off". Left rear is very flush with the quarter panel, RR sticks in a bit. Lowering would help my car with a stock PHB actually.

So does anyone have an opinion one way or the other on Steeda Sport Springs/Koni shocks vs. the combo I've been considering: H & R Sport Springs and Bilstein HD shocks?

are you primarily driving your car on the track or the street?

I chose Steeda/Koni (thanks to Sam Strano's recommendation) and I'm mostly street but I like to drive pretty aggressively.

Better. Bilstein's are very nice, but overpriced for a non-adjustable. H&R springs are good springs too, but the Steeda's I use/sell are physically lighter and ride a bit better IMHO. Note that I sell both H&R and Bilstein as well. The value just isn't there on the Bilstein's with the costs involved. Frankly I think the STR.T's work just as well for half the price. And the Steeda Sports are a known commodity that pretty much everyone here who has them really likes, and they are my preference.

I was doing some research and heard that Bilstein's are an inverted type strut which will cause problems with most camber plates. Most plates are designed for non-inverted type struts like Koni, Tokico, AST etc. something to consider if you ever plan to run camber plates...

Norm...I didnt check it at stock height so it could have been off then. When measured after the spring install it was at 7/16". You could visually see the difference....well I could LoL... My stock bar was 41 3/4" long. I set the new one at 41 1/2" and she sits perfect with me in it. I've heard they can be off some from factory as Sam has stated. My 07 after the Steeda ultralights install sat perfect....go figure. Thumbs up on the Steeda springs from Sam. I didnt do it to lower but the car sits freakin awesome!!!
