h-techs are garbage. Stick with the teins or if you want a bit lower some Eibachs (though they are slightly stiffer).

H&Rs are good springs, but if you really want to switch - Eibachs (as already posted) or good coilovers properly set up with lower spring rates.

you said the magic words: "looks perfect." I agree, it does look perfect. Too bad their performance is lousy compared to Eibachs/H&Rs/Maxspeeds, etc.
