Default Spring selection

Keep this in mind. I lowered my 96 Integra 5 years ago on Sprint springs. The drop was 2" back then but probably settled more over time. The ride quality was pretty good considering how much I was dropped.

Now as I'm getting older, I realize that it's time for a change. I don't want my car as low anymore but I don't want to go back to stock height either. I'm looking for springs that'll drop me only about an inch or 1.3". Lately I've been looking at Eibach Pro-kits but I'm open to other suggestions.

What else would you all recommend. How about H&R's, or Comptech? And where can I get the best deals for these. So far in researching, I've found the Pro-kit cheapest at CoxImport.com for actual online retailers (although my research has been half-assed) but have seen them on Ebay going for around $195.

TIA

I am looking at the both the Comptechs and Prokit. Can't remember where I saw the spring rates but I remember them having exactly the same figures. I think the Comptech's are rebadged Prokits. The Comptech's are slightly less expensive too.

prokits own! 3 finger gap and they are perfect for daily driving. Not too stiff, but they hold their own in the curves. I have yet to turn up my shocks (they are on setting 1 for a short break in), but they are a lot better than stock so far!
