I had both...First I had just the H&R lowering springs, then I switched them out for H&R coilovers. Right now, I'm using the RUF coilovers and very happy with them!

What was the comparison between the H&R springs alone and then the coilovers? How was handling etc.

The springs alone, you could tell the stock dampners could not keep up with the increased spring rate of the H&R springs. The car was bouncy...felt like driving a lowered Honda Civic....not a good feeling.

With the coilovers, you can feel the dampners and springs working in harmony. The car

To be honest, suspension is really one area I wouldn't not go half-*** on so to speak. Do the right way the first time and enjoy the car. Springs alone works for a lot of other cars, but really, for the TT, I would do the X73, ROW 030, or coilovers.
