Default 99 accord suspension

I have 99 accord sedan 4cyl. I already have tokicio illumina struts in the car and i was wondering what type of sleeve-springs to get. I have neuspeed race springs but the drop is not enough. I was thinking about the Eibach ground control....but I don't know how the ride or anything is. Right now, my setting is 3 on the tokicio illuminas and the ride is stiff. Could anyone help me out to see what type of sleeve-spring i should get to get the same ride as now or better or anything.

Thanks for all the advice and help.

I have a 98 LX sedan and have been running the Ground Control setup on Illuminas for the last 3.5 years. Handles very well but is a bit stiff. Stutter bumbs make ya crazy. If you're running race springs already then you're used to the stiff ride so the GC setup shouldn't be any worse. The lower you go though, the more your camber will be out. I only went about 1.75 lower and needed front and rear camber kits to get it straight enough to not cook the inside of the tires. Since I'm running directional tires, it's a bigger deal for the camber.

Thanks for the help. How are the Skunk2 compared to the GC? I was wanting about a 2in in the front and 1.75 in the back....to get the drag look. I have 18in wheels with kumho ecsta and the dimensions are 215/35/18R.
Even with the neuspeed race i have about a 1.2in drop? in the front and about 2 in the rear. i do have a 4cyl model.

Also, i think if i should get a true-coilover....which one should i go for that is reasonable with price as well.
