Default need help choosing springs for my 90 RS integra coupe!

ok i've searched for a couple hours...on here as well as other websites and i still can't come up with some springs i would like according to my taste. i have three choices in mind (tein s tech....h&r sports....neuspeed sports) but i went to the application pages on each company's webpage and they are all like 1.8F-1.8" rear and so on. i would like to get a spring that drops the front just a tad bit more than the rear because i know on the 2nd gen integs the front fender line is higher than the rear. can anyone step in with a 2nd gen and help me choose a spring that fits my taste! thanks

the 1.8F and 1.8R springs will give it a slightly lower drop in the front

even though the spring rates are different for front and rear, my friend had the H&R's on his car, it was a little lower in the front than the back

i wonder what the spring rates for the eibach springs are? are they really stiff or soft? thanks

btw...when people say a spring is "stiff" do they mean its less bouncy? dumb question but just wanted to know thanks

stiff as in harder springs, it will be a bumpier ride as you go towards the stiffer rates in springs

I've had the Sportlines on my EF and my 94 Accord,they're pretty stiff and the rear springs on both cars were noisy.Never owned the Pro Kits,but they supposed to ride a bit better but are somewhat softer.I would recommend a good set of aftermarket shocks and do it all at once,it saves time and your stock struts may not last long with lowering springs,especially if they have alot of miles of them.
