eibach prokit and s-tech from tein are good for using with oem damper, they are slightly lower and they are only a tad firmer than stock. You can expect an oem feel with a lowered look but just don't expect it to take out all the bodyroll and hit 100mph on the track corner.

and how can we talk about spring without knowing the most important factor in spring? k constant

they are softer than eibach by a hair and slightly "higher" in height

in other word, they are more stock like than eibach or tein.

Im going to be lowering my s2k soon so whats the difference in the Tein H tech and the Tein S tech lowering springs?
I was in the same boat as u like 3 weeks ago. But i decided to go with Eibach, which also has 1" drop all around. I had them on my RSX-S and was very happy with them, so i tried them on this one. I really like the drop and the ride feels awesome.
