Suspension Help >_<

Suspension Help >_<
Before I put my newbie request on full blast, I'd like to say I'm sorry for making a thread for a topic that already has been posted many times on numerous forums.
My dilema
I bought my CRX with a set of Skunk 2 Pro C coilovers. They are great as far as handling goes but I think the spring rate is too high for street driving. I set it at the softest setting to see if that would help relax the impact of going over bumps on the road and such but it didn't do much.
*I am completely uneducated and still do not understand how the spring rates work and how I should be comparing them to others to pick out the setup I want/need. This is where I decided that I had to post for help*
I don't auto X but would like to enjoy turns here and there on empty roads every now and then.
The CRX already has Skunk2 LCA, DC Sport Rear Strut Bar, Stock Si Lower Rear Sway Bar, Skunk 2 Tie Bar, Neuspeed Front SwayBar.
Currently they're on Civic SI (99-00) Wheels with 205/50/15 tires
Here is a picture of how it's sitting now
Okay so with all the foreground covered:
I'm looking for a spring and shock setup (not coilovers) and the options I came across were:
Shocks (Will any of these work well for DD/street driving without sacrificing comfort too much):
KYB AGX
Tokiko Illuminas
Koni Yellows
Springs(Will any of these work well for DD/street driving without sacrificing comfort too much):
Tein S Tech (will these work without bottoming out when I hit a bump?)
Eibach Pro Kit (will it sit lower than my current setup?)
Eibach Sportlines (I cannot find these anywhere, any suggestions?)
I know most will say GC + Koni Yellow but I'm not a big fan of coilovers (don't ask why lol).
I'm totally open to any other suggestions as far as shock and spring combo goes.

Re: Suspension Help >_<
Koni GC with off the shelf spring rates (350f/250r). Best ride quality, lifetime warranty, best spring rates for DD
