Re: (alexisthemovie)
I'm sure you can find them somewhere. But why dont you get ground control or similar coilovers, and run them at stock height? I think the highest setting on Ground Controls sets you up at .5'' lower than stock. Thats not much.
Why do you want to do this? Someone said to get adjustable shocks....but that wont cure body roll and loading on sweeping corners. Only on autocross style sharp turns.

Re: spring question (r1ch1e)
The eibach springs are seriously not much difference in ride height but will at least be a little stiffer. I wouldnt worry about rough roads with them lol. You'll still be a foot off the ground.

Tein S techs drop DC2s 2.6''f and 1.7''r . I'd say thats a LOT lower than stock. Those springs are also not stiff enough to keep you off bumpstops on really hard bumps and turns with sticky tires. Try some ITR springs maybe.

An ITR sway bar with stock springs could be asking for trouble. Since you have the ASR brace, you could end up putting alot more stress on the sway bar end links than they were designed for.
I would say just pick up stock ITR springs and maybe some mildly stiffer aftermarket shocks like Tokico HP's, or perhaps a complete ITR suspension w/ factory ITR shocks (would require rear LCA's also).

A large rear sway bar with stock springs is going to make the sway bar have to work alot harder and put more strain on it, and the end links. You might check in the suspension forum but I'm pretty sure they would recommend having something stiffer than stock springs to pair with the ITR rear sway bar.

Re: (r1ch1e)
gr2 are only good with stock shocks. they are seriously really shitty.
i ran them with relatively soft megan racing springs (280f, 230r) on my first dc4 integra because i thought i could go cheap on shocks.
of course that was before i knew any better.
just say you meant to order agx instead.
