Default Spring Advice NEEDED: H&R Race VS. Neuspeed Race

Well, I'm beginning the "budget" build up of my '92 Si.

I've decided I'm going to run the ITR Bilstein SP's, but cannot for the life of me decide on a spring. I was going to go custom GC's, but reminded myself that this is a "budget project".

I ran H&R Sports with Bilstein SP's on my ITR and really liked it, although I wouldn't have minded a stiffer spring.

From the pics I've seen, the "Sports" don't offer the drop I'm looking for on the hatch so I've kinda narrowed it down to a "Race" spring.

If I got my info correct, the drops/rates are as follows...

H&R Race: 2.5"(450lb.)F 2.25"(360lb.)R
Neuspeed Race: 2.25"(550lb.)F 2.0"(460lb.)R

Now, I like the drop of the Neuspeed, but the rates of the H&R!! What to do?

This car is a daily driver... spirited daily driving and probably a few tracks events next spring/summer.

Can people with experience with these particular springs provide me with some advice/feedback?

And trust me, I have used the search function to the fullest!!! Found some info, but looking for more "real world" experiences.

Thanks.
