Hartge
H&R

I just did the H&R loweing springs... Handling is great, and the drop is perfect. Looks allot better.

RD Sport, sits 1/4" lower than H&R, rides little smoother as well. No experience with the others (dinan,hartge)

I had H&R springs installed thanks to Kelleners-Sport. The wheels fill out the well nicely and the handling is improved. I get better feedback from the road and the ride is not noticeably harsher by any means.

I would go with H&R springs AND spacers. The spacers really fill out the wheelwells, and with only $100 of trimming on the rear wheelwells, no rubbing whatsoever. I think the combo of the much lower and wider look really brings out the aggressive look in the car - big improvement.

I would take issue with the previous statement that the R&D springs lower the car more and ride better. I don't think either of these statements have been shown to be true.

Depends on what you want. Of your three choices, the Dinan system will lower the car the least and compromise the ride quality the least, but still provides a very significant performance benefit (because the Stage 2 system includes more than just springs).

Was your Dinan Stage II suspension installed by a dealer or was it DIY?

You clearly never saw me hold a wrench. My dealer did the install. Dinan budgets 10.5 hours.

Thanks for the swift reply- I just ordered the Stage II from my dealer and will install in my shop at home. Did your dealer do an alignment post install?
