Default Koni Yellows and What kind of spring??

I got my Koni Yellows, and put my H&R springs from my old coilovers on, but its a little low for me, I got about 4.8 inches of ground cleanace behind the front tires, and 5.8 in the rear. I am looking at getting new springs any way. Here are my choices, I would appreciate opinions and feedback. Im looking for less than 2 inches of drop, and good handeling (road course/auto x) Thanks

1. EIBACH SPORTLINE
2. NEUSPEED SPORT SPRINGS
3. PROGRESS LOWERING SPRINGS
4. H&R SPORT LOWERING SPRINGS

I searched and didnt find alot of opinions on what would be ideal for my setup.

i just got koni yellows and eibach sportlines. they are what were recomended to me from many guys. i have yet to put them on so i cant offer pics, but i drove another rex with exact same supension and it was beautiful. firm yet still daily drivable and comfy. didnt roll/squat in turns and gave about 1.75" up front and 1.5" in the rear drop wise.

I got Koni yellows with H&R sports. If you put the springs on with the lowest perch setting on the Koni , it will ride like crap. Too damn low and tires are tuck. I have mine set on the highest perch settings and it ride firm but not bumpy. I have good ground clearance. There's no fender gap in the front and less that 2 finger gap in the rear with 195, 55, r15 tires.

As for the Eibach sportsline, it ride the same but it had 1 finger gap in the front and 2 finger gap in the rear.

I have koni yellows as well.

For springs, I have had 1) Eibach sportlines - ok
2) Neuspeed sport - ok
3) Vogtland - I love these , stil using them

Wouldn't mind trying out some Eibach pro-kit though for a little more clearance.

so it still would be sitting pretty low then. maybe I should go with the OE sports. I have about 1.6 inches between wheel and fender in the front with these springs. and probly about 2.5 in the rear. do you have the konis with the three perch settings in the back and two in the front?

Out of the options you listed, I would choose the H&R Sports or the Progress springs - but none of those are really well suited to serious autocross or road course duty. They're all soft progressive-rate street springs.
