Default Opinions/experiences with Sprint lowering springs & lowering options

All in the topic title. I recently replaced my 13" donuts with a set of LS mesh's on my '96 Civic CX with stock springs, and while it doesn't look reallllly bad, it is a bit goofy looking. So now I'm looking to get a set of lowering springs that will reduce that goofy look, but not go too low. I was hoping for a 1.6" drop, since I saw that on my friend's car and thought it looked great. But unfortunately for the EK chassis, I couldn't find any springs that would give a 1.6" drop all around.

Currently, I'm looking at Eibach Sportlines which will give a 1.8" drop all around which I'm concerned is a bit too low for me. But I recently found Sprint springs which will drop 1.5" which sounds better, but I am unsure of their quality and reputation. I am hoping someone can chime in about Sprint, or give me another choice in my decision. Thanks in advance for your help.

And I would look into a coilover setup but...financial matters stop me from looking into that.

i love mine. some might say they are to soft and progressive but they work out well for me. mine are the 2.5f and 2.45r. rides very smooth but i admit that the handling is not very performance oriented more comfort.

Thank you for your reply. That doesn't sound too bad, actually. I was hoping to retain somewhat of a comfortable ride. Appreciate your input.

Yea, they are a very comfortable spring. My friend has them on his nissan and the ride is nice and smooth, not bouncy. I like them.
