Spring recommendation for a daily driver, not too low.

I need to lower the car a little especially with my new Volks, I want something that isn't too low as I had one hell of a time with speed

Default Spring recommendation for a daily driver, not too low.

I need to lower the car a little especially with my new Volks, I want something that isn't too low as I had one hell of a time with speed bumps and such around my area with RSX-S. Any recommendations would be awesome.

for reference here is my car...

Eibach and Tein S-techs have a good drop without being too low (approx 1" front/rear).

EIBACH PRO KIT
.90" (front)/.80" (rear)

TEIN S-TECH
.87" (front)/.75" (rear)

We carry both in stock in case you're interested.

Wait a bit for the RS*R Springs. 0.6 " drop on Linear springs.

Do you scrape now? The black plastic aero piece in front of the wheels is about 3.5 inches from the ground. If you don't scrape now you can drop a little more than an inch and take off.

December timeframe. Though you can buy them in Japan right now. See the RS*R Thread on here on links to buy them.
