Default swapped hatch - which springs?

i bought tokico hp shocks and springs on my swapped hatch. the drop wasn't enuf for me so i bought a diff set of springs. i went with intrax because of ride quality. now the car does a nose dive. i assume that their advertised ride quality is because of a low spring rate, and the added weight from the swap lowers the front. i also do not like the ride... its way too soft. if i went with some eibachs or h&r's would i have the same nose dive prob? or should i get integra springs? i wanted about a 1.8" drop.

if i remember rite, the front were 300... they couldn't give me the rate for the rear, and i asked the rate for integra springs, and they couldn't give me that either. i'm not looking to ax, but i do want good handling. i drove a b16 hatch w/ skunk sleeves... i thought they were a little harsh. damn... with all the money i spent trying diff setups, i could've got a set of omni coilovers or something.
