I bought some H&R sport springs and Tokico Illumina struts and I run the struts on the hardest setting all the time. It's a big difference between the softest setting and hardest setting.

I have the KYB agx's on my eg hatch with tein spings and it seems to ride good. I run the fronts on 3 and the rears on 2. I like lowering springs better than a coilover because they are not as stiff. just my .02

it really depends on what sping you are using.
AGX are nice enough if ur short on cash, otherwise get the tokico illum. or konis
