Looks great with the new drop.

How does it drive compared to the H&R springs?

Didn't have it installed at the dealer. Did it through a local performance shop that I usually go to. I'm sure prices for install vary from shop to shop. Mine included install of the coilovers with the EDC delete module and alignment. Kinda pricey but the shop does good work.
Just another reason why I wanna go with coilovers. Sounds like install is gonna cost me. But I don't mind paying as long as it's done right.

Remmib... so far its a lot stiffer than the H&R but over all it handles better. Seems like the car reacts better if that makes any sense. Haven't been able to drive it enough to really tell though.

Rather pay a little more for quality work. Wish I went the coilover route to begin with though
