lowering module vs. springs

Just picked up an 04 S w/ 37k mi. so the questions will be coming! In the meantime wondering the difference between using lower module and springs? Was planning to just lower using H&R, but just saw module online for $350, seems cheap! Assuming the difference with the module it just gives you some height options as opposed to only being low on springs?

If your '04 S didn't come with air suspension, the lowering module would not be an option for you....only lowering springs.

It's in my signature. I went with 22-inch Techart Formulas which IMO, is still the best looking wheel for the Cayenne.
