My car came lowered from the dealer with H&R springs. Should I be concerned about it's quality?

H&R make good quality springs and C/O, and a wide range of products and applications. Did the dealer tell you anything about how it was tuned or for what purpose?

I have to agree with all the recommendations to just go with coilovers. You can tailor the ride height to whatever level best suits your taste. Additionally, the cost for install is going to be the same so you may as well do it right the first time around. Obviously, coilover will cost more but you can find used sets on boards like this from people who are planning to sell or have sold their cars.

The dealer did not mention the springs at all in any of its ads ( guess it is not a selling pt). I found out about the brand and a few other things at the PPI.

It appears the purpose is just looks.
