Default H&R vs. Dropzone

Which is a better set of lowering springs, H&R or Dropzone? Eventually I'll get a set of struts to go with so also whats a good matching strut?

Not sure if you would have the same luck but anyway I ran H&R race springs with 2 coils cut off, stock shocks, and skunk2 camber kits.

The car ran seconds faster than one of the higher skilled drivers with a miata in autox.

It was a 95 Egg.

If they work well for you, then it's all good, but like B said, Drop-Zone is one of the cheapo brands. H&R is a respected brand name, and they make good shit...

Matt gave me his H&Rs for a bit but now he wants them back so I'm looking for something different. 2.5" was too low and my camber was fucked. I'm thinking of going with Tokico HPs. I'm going to do some auto-xing but not too serious, and they're pretty cheap.
