Thanks guys for the positive feedback. Just wanted to share my thoughts and photos of what the car would look like when fitted for anyone who wants to go down this path. I went with h&r springs instead of coil overs because:
A. It's cheaper $400 vs $2000
B. The drop is just as nice
C. The ride quality is not harsh (still comfortable with less body roll)
D. I don't track it like my previous cars so no need for the coilover set up.
E. German made quality.

The only negative is that the steep driveway is a bit of a bitch when I park at night.

Advantages of coilover setup for anyone going down this path over springs are:

A. Can be height adjusted to the level you desire.
B. Stiffness level can be adjusted
C. Better for track days
D. Most likely will be better for the shock absorbers (but the h&r springs were made to handle the stock shock absorbers).
E. Can adjust the camber effect for different wheel setup.

The other springs that are also very similar and gives the same drop and also German made are Eibach springs for anyone interested. They are pretty much of the same build, quality and looks. Both H&R and Eibach are used for the German DTM and various teams, so they know German cars very well and all the specs. I wouldn't go with any other sport springs brand than these two for German cars.
