I believe people around here have gone with the S-Tech springs in the past, but then moved on to coilovers. I'm not sure what the difference is between the S-Techs and H-Techs are... but pictures of the H-Techs look good... not overly low like many of the lowering springs.

Remember that anything lower than 13.5" from hub to fender results in fairly poor front suspension geometry on these cars. Plus on stock struts lowering springs will speed strut wear, and high rates will make the car bouncy. Anything that's close to stock rate and drops the front around 1" while leaving the rear around stock height should be ideal for improving the looks of the car w/o compromising handling.
