Go Eibach, not H&R. They're close to stock stiffness.
Side note: The front wheel wells are larger than the rear. However, the car sits flat. In other words, look at your car directly from the side. Look at the bottom of the side skirts (area between the front and rear wheels). You'll see it's a straight horizontal line. If you drop the fronts more than the back, so that the gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the top arc of the wheel well is even front & rear, than the side of your car will appear to have a rake. There's no real solution for this, it's just a matter of balancing the two. IMHO, the Eibach does a pretty good compromise visually.
