Need advice on lowering springs for 08 CaymanS

Guys, I'm riding on 20" wheels and would like to lower the car. Can anyone vouch for H&R springs and have pics with their 20" wheels?
Thanks!

Your car looks great! I'm thinking the 20s would be too slammed and I dont want to get into dealing with negative camber to make it work.

But if someone out there has 20s on I sure would like their opinion!

Hey Fluid987, Are you on avant gardes? What are your wheel and tire specs? I have a black boxster and love the look of yours.

20s use lower profile tires, so they are not slammed anymore than 19s. The gap between tire and fender is the same.
