hey dave if your willing to go with just springs im running eibach pro sieries one inch drop feels good. not too stiff not to soft but thats if you want just springs.
oh and after i lowered it i could still get the alignment specs in the green!
they are also very affordable comparred to coilovers
happy hunting
Thanks! Compared to OEM what is the ride like? No rolling of fenders or anything like that right? I'm not planning on tracking at this point but don't like too loose of a ride. Lots of twisty mountain roads up here...,

with stock wheels youll never have to roll your fenders. i had these springs on one of my integras and i liked them so i tried them on my black S. it feels good even with my 19s. if your ever in town let me know and we can go for a rip. actually sometimes wken its nice on the weekends i go for a cruis to horseshoe bay if wanted to park at the terminal and come over to keep your cost down i can pic you up there. although it will to be a day with no rain cause i need a top for that car. let me know.

To rephrase what KFdon said.
Most coil-overs use stiffer springs so the ride will be a little harsher than stock, depending on how stiff the springs are.
Shock vavling is important too, as under rebound shocks will expand too fast with the stiffer springs. Shock rebound controls how fast the shocks will extend.
Compression is important because if the shocks are vavled for compression, then the springs are acting as the shock compression.
When both the compression and rebound are under vavled, then you get the pogoing effect.

Stiffer springs mean takes more force to compress the springs and there is more force when the springs unwind.
