I've been looking for information on these as well. Do either of these sets include springs or coil-overs in addition to the lowering springs?

I'd get the H&Rs and match them up with some Konis when they come out. Some coilovers though, would be the way to go if your willing to spend the money and can sacrifice the ride.

Schnitzer, while a top tuner is normally overpriced IMO. You do get quality products, but part of the price difference is just due to the name. Although in this case, the price difference is not that bad.
