Default stiff springs

I've got an 89 hatch with eibach sportline springs with tokico blues. Well I'm going to be droppin in a b20 instead of my current sohc zc and I know that I'm going to need stiffer springs for that extra weight. What would you reccommend?

They were hard to find, luckily I got them off of ebay for $140. Shops wanted up to $180 because they were special order.

I guess it depends on your car, I didn't need a camber kit.

i got the progress camber kit b/c my 88 hatch with neuspeed race springs definitely needed some help with the camber.
