Default H&B versus Mopar lowering kits

Both Mopar and H&B have extensive coil-over lower kits. any adivce which has superior features? we want to drop the front of our 2006 GT about 2" and the read about 1-1/2 inches, and still have the ability to adjust height if we change our minds. also would appreciate and advice on the best places to have work like this done. we live in Los Altos Hills but can drive a bit if there is really a superior shop that specialized in the PT Cruiser.
thanks for the help, Tom & Marj Green

Just my opinion, I would go with the H&R coilovers (I assume you made a spelling mistake). They are height adjustable for both the front and rear and H&R are considered to make many of the top coilovers in the world. The Mopar coilovers are only front height adjustable. That being said, Moss Motors, http://www.cruiserbits.com/ , is having a "close-out" sale on KW coilovers (same as the Mopar coilovers but includes the rear height adjustment piece) for $849.95. So you can save a bunch of money buying the KW setup. However, one person has had a bad experience with the Mopar/KW setup, but I haven't seen any negative comments for a H&R setup.

I use the H&R springs only on my vert' and I love them. High quailty, no sag, not bouncy. I will upgrading my shock/struts with H&R when my stockers start getting squishy.
