Are you sure it's not available yet? I've seen the price for the race spring in their website. Maybe you should try asking directly to H&R.

Hamann is just as or more than the H&R coilovers and I dont believe they offer a 2inch drop.

As far as the H&R Race springs; they do have pricing on them on the website but I am going back and fourth with them trying to find out an ETA on when they will be done and ill im getting is the run around from them. Bastards.

Im thinking about cutting a coil from the sport spring giving me a 2inch drop. People do it on their sport springs and it seems to work out fine. Not ghetto like cutting your own stock springs, thats just for 1987 honda civics and shit.

I wish we had more options for lowering at an affordable price but then again we dont drive "affordable" cars

40-20 mm 4 lowering rings are about 385 euros-437USD
or 2 front ones 35 mm for 200 euros

the coilover is 2200 euros -dunno USD but gives you 4 sport suspenisons and 4 progressive -levelable- rings.
But if you also have the sports susp. it ios 1,5 cm so just go for the lowering rings.
