Default what springs to go with on the rsx

Ok, so i just bought my new rsx and have a set of 17" wheels sitting inmy garage that can fit on it. I don't want to put the wheels on with out loweringi t b/c it would have such a massive wheel gap. My question is what is a good spring to go with that drops it enough to lower the wheel gap to a noticeable differce but not affect my camber wear so much. I also on't want to have some crappy ride quality b/c I rive this car over 60 miles a day to work/school. I was thinking along the lines of the tein S or h&r sport springs. What do you guys thing. I had the h&r on my integra and tein s on my celica and liked both but i dont no what you guys think about them on the rsx

I'm going with the Tein SS myself, but it's best to get an alignment after the suspension install.

The S Tech will give you a very comfortable ride, the drop is very practical for every day driving.

Go with tein, regardless of H&Rs prices and how common they are I think their durability doesnt last as long as tein. Teins all the way!

i suggest hotchkis. front drop is 1.5 rear is 1.3 it drops the car perfect, and the reae camber is not very far off. the problem with hondas is from the factory the rear is lower than the front. this is why i dropped it 1.5 front and 1.3 rear. the ride is perfect, not any worse than stock. here's how it looks......

dont go with sportlines they were bouncy....for springs i'd say Prodrive.
test drove it and the handling was great and absorbed the bumps/road imperfections beautifully
