lowering springs suggestions?

So iv decided to do springs instead of coils... was wondering what you guys think?
Swift eibach or tein ?
A buddy of mine has swift and said it wont comprise my already smooth ride comfort considering i have the S and i am satisfied with infinitis sport suspenison however i am very unhappy looking at sooooo much gap in the front... i want that clean tucked look for whatever shoes i put on whether its my 19in enkeis or my 20x11s

Let me know what you guys suggest, thanks

You say you want a tucked look, if that's indeed the case you'll want deep drop springs like S Techs or H&Rs. You'll also need full camber kits if you drop that deep. For a milder Eibach kit you could get by w/ just a rear 4 bolt camber/toe set, that's about $50 if you do the install.
I'd go w/ Tein Basis coilovers though, that way you can get the exact height you want and get a setup that's designed to work together compared to the compromised OEM shock setup.

Yeah id love to do things really right and go with coils however budget is a issue for me at the moment... that and i also have alot of cosmetic work being done to the car which i am 100% not cheaping out on... i do want tucked but would like to stay just low... idk if im guna make any camber adjustments just yet... 1 i burn threw my tires enough for example i ride so fn hard im on my 4th set in 9 months... and with that being said with my drop im strictly going for looks i want enough drop just to help minimize wheel gap in the front but not so much that i will be constantly replacing my oil pan

Sounds like Eibachs will fit the bill then.

4th set of tires in 9 months? You need to be looking at why you're burning through tires so quickly.

I have H&R springs and to me they give the perfect drop. Gets rid of all the wheel gap and gives you a semi-tucked look. I opted not to do a camber kit and adjusted my toe to factory and flip my tires often.

When u dropped the h&rs in did u keep ur factory shocks in? And technically 3 sets.. i threw 20×11s on a few months ago but sold the wheels n tires together... the other 2 sets where due to havin toooo much fun. .. i.e. figure 8s and burnout competitions smokin out my buddys genesis coupe my first 2 month's i had a bad addiction to brake standing everywhere i stopped
