kingmotorsports.com has H&R springs for $150. cant beat it, and a quality spring. the sport springs should be good with stock shocks.

I bought a set of the ebay Evotion springs for my 94 hatchback. They should be here in the next 2 weeks. I will update with pics - good or bad. 99centsnoreserve is located in Boca raton Florida and my Mother in law just happens to be there right now. She is going to pick them up for me tomorrow. I only paid $10.49 for them (without shipping!!!) so if they are junk who cares.

I have a 98 EX Coupe and rock the Eibach Sportlines and I couldn't ask for a better ride from a spring. My strut in the rear left is going (probably both or even all), but this seemed to just occur and probably from lowering springs as well as drag racing.

ANYWAY, I like my Sportlines and it's about a 2" drop. Comfortable ride, but some new struts would be nice too.
