Reported cause
These failures in and of themselves aren't enough to write off a manufacturer however, it was the incredibly poor customer service that drove me nuts.
Leading evidence: 'incredibly poor customer service' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'incredibly poor customer service' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust between 1to 2 inches' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

As far as height the H&R spring lower 1.25 inches and the coilover can be adjusted between 1to 2 inches.

Suggestion
If you want to do it right, then coiliovers as you can adjust the height to the lowest possible setting, which leaves you very little room.

Coilovers give you adjustment to change the ride height to your driving needs.

Thanks, how much do they lower,(for the coils, the lowest setting) Also, see my additon to the first post regarding turbo springs.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I know all the other issues between the two, BUT-What drops it lower, H&R coilovers or H&R springs
Also i may be able to get my hands on springs from a turbo, will they work and if so how much will they lower it??
Turbo springs will not work. They are heavier, to deal with the increased weight in the back end from the turbos and the front end for the front diff. Some coilover manuf use the same set up for C4 and turbo, but not for a C2.
As for what gets you lower. Well you can get H&R springs, cut them, and be dragging on the floor. If you want to do it right, then coiliovers as you can adjust the height to the lowest possible setting, which leaves you very little room. Further, some coilovers go lower than others. Any reason for the focus on H&R?
I am down about 2 inchs in these photos.

Turbo spring will only fit a C4, and given the weight difference of a turbo it will not work great on a C4. I also think that a turbo is the same height as a C4. As far as height the H&R spring lower 1.25 inches and the coilover can be adjusted between 1to 2 inches. So if ultimate low is what you are goning for then get coilovers.
Coilovers give you adjustment to change the ride height to your driving needs. I would get springs for a daily driver and JIC for racing. Skip the H&R and skip the Pss9. The JIC gives you adj ride height, 16 way dampening, and adjustable front camber plates. Neither of the other 2 do.
Either way, coilovers will give you more drop control. Springs are fixed.
I have had two dampers fail (leak is an understatement - these pretty much self-destructed) in the last six months. The first one had almost 60,000 miles on it, but the latest one had less than 3,000 miles on it. These failures in and of themselves aren't enough to write off a manufacturer however, it was the incredibly poor customer service that drove me nuts. To make a very, very long story short, they screwed up at every possible opportunity. A simple warranty replacement (even though it's not that simple - you need to do another alignment) became a lengthy and tedious affair.
Never again. I've been more than patient with those clowns.
