Default Which kind of spring do you think is best for me? (Poll)

I am on a pretty low budget, so keep in mind that the spring that has the most bang for the buck is going to be my choice most likely, I'm looking for something that will not lower it way too much, only around 1.5" (all of these fall into that area). I'm really not bothered by something that is going to be bumpy, unless it is really really bad, I'd prefer something that is bumpier and handles better than something that is smooth and handles worse. Thanks for your opinions.


Also, if you have any other recommendations for springs in the $100-$180 range, please let me know.

#1. Tein does not make H-Tech springs for 88-91 Civic/CRX.
#2. Sprint springs make 3 different springs for your car, so which ones are you refering to?

Tein S-Tech are a little stiffer than stock. They are comfortable and work well with stock shocks but are not going to give you rediculous handling. Going with a stiffer spring will increase handling but the higher the spring rate, the more important it is to get shocks that can control the spring, otherwise the ride will be bouncy. Combining a good shock and spring combo is important because they work together. Select a spring that meets your needs for ride height and stiffness and match it with shocks that can control the springs and offer some adjustability.

Check spring rates here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1914404

I would really like to know about the Tanabe GF210 springs because their spring rates seem like they would be good but I dont know anyone with them and I have not heard any reviews. Other people have been very satisfied with H&R sports, EIBACH, Tein S-tech.
