that would not look good at all..just get the H&R sports...theyre a lil firmer but its not as bad as like the Steeda Comp Springs i plan on getting...or the sportlines/super sports...

+1 If it's going to be a clone, need to make it look like a Saleen. Mix matching won't be a complete clone. Also down the road when you need to replace the vert top, go with a black one. looks better and it will be harder to tell when it's dirty.
And when you lower your car, you give up some comfort for a low stance. lower the front and back.
