Need help deiciding between H&R Springs and Dinan Springs

Hi,
Has anyone installed the H&R springs? If so, does the car appear weird since only the front springs are changed. I am thinking about either the Dinan springs or the H&R. I am on the skeptical side on the H&R since they only lower the front. Please let me know whether the car appears to be "funny-looking". Thanks for all your help.

the labor cost of replacing the front springs and alignment is greater than the cost of the springs alone

the dinan springs and shocks are calibrated to work together, and work they do. I've got the whole package and love it.

I'd really recommend the complete Dinan package or leave it stock unless you can find somebody who has fitted the H&R springs and let you do a comparison drive
