These are the ones i'm looking at. If you want to go low, you want coilovers. If youre just looking to stiffen up and maybe drop a couple inches go for springs / maybe struts.

These are the coils i like
Coil

These are some of the preferred springs by most users ( correct me if i'm wrong) H&R
H&R

Tein
Even the basics youre looking at about a K.
If youre not looking to lower a lot I'd say go for the H&R sport. Or if youre looking to track the car go for the race class.

I'm really looking at the K-Sport because my car is so rusted underneath that I cant do a full 4 wheel alignment and they have the ability to do the camber / caster right there

classified here suck but nah i dont want all that extra shiit.

my car is a DD (stage 2 clutch, forge spitter, fmic, test pipe, flash ecu) i'm done with the car. i just want it to sit low but don't want it to jump like my honda.

since there low pro tires on my car i think i need about 2 off the front n back.

I have the H&R race and they do sit nice but, the tire wear in the rear is bad. Plan on rotating ALOT!!!

dont think that has to do with the springs... more like your out of alignment in the rear. and the race springs aren't just used for the track. i have them on my car and its not to much more stiff than the oem sport suspension.
