Default lowering springs question

i'm lookin to put some lowering springs on my 96 coupe, and i was hopin some people who already had some installed could hook me up w/ the answers to these questions- what kind did you get, how much of a drop is it, and how is the ride? i'm gonna be getting springs only for the moment (struts will be next- hopefully in a month or two), but everyone i know w/ springs has a non-civic car. my boy at the local shop had good things to say about sprint, but he has a teg and therefore his ride might be different than mine. so if anyone who has had good/bad experiences could help me out, i'd really appreciate it. gracias

Ground Control Springs Fully adjustable
I would get shocks at the same time. Bilstein or Koni Sports if you don't have a lot of money to throw around. I would stay within the 1-2" drop, to avoid camber issues. But if you get GC springs then it costs an extra $40 to get the billet adapters to accommodate the Koni and Bilstein shocks. It may be cheaper to go with another brand. Hope this helps.
