Best lowering kit for non self leveling?

Hey guys, looking for a good quality setup that is close to oem ride quality as possible. I looked at eibach and it’s not enough drop at 1 and .6. Only other one I’m seeing is the H&R coils which are 1.5 and 1.6 if I remember correctly. Are these close to stock ride quality? Or what other options are there? Thanks!

I've been researching springs for non-leveling suspension as well - if you search the forum there's quite a bit of info here.

H&R will get you lower than Eibach, but from everything I've read on this forum, ride quality is noticeably diminished from stock. If Eibach isn't low enough and you're willing to spend the $, KW V3 would be the best option.

Please search. So many threads on this topic. But yes eibqch is the only option that's close to oem, HR has two options. Both have harsh reviews but many like them. KW is a whole new set up and expensive. Good set up but again will be stiffer than oem.

Had Ben install some h & r springs like 2 months ago. Ride is a bit rough with rft but love how the car sits and handles.
