Question Which lowering spring compared to my current Eibachs

Hey everyone...

My current lowering spring dropped my car 0.8 inches front and rear. I've got 20" wheels.

Im looking to drop it even more. H&Rs drop is 1 inch front and rear. I'm worried i will not notice the difference compared to my Eibachs.

Which other springs drop the car even lower? I'm only looking for springs, not full coilovers etc.

Thanks

z71amigo is infamous around these parts
Here is a pic of my car with H&R springs with 20" wheels. Any lower and I think it would be too much for a street car.

Your side skirts help make it look a bit lower. The TechArt springs are made by Eibach.
