Default tokico HP/ illumina?

Looking at a new springs/strut setup for my ef hatch and found both of these on Egay at a pretty decent (hopefully) price.
I'm not looking for much of a drop because the roads where i live are garbage, i jsut want better handling... but i need stiffer springs, especially in the back of my car

what do you guru's recommend?

How low do you want to go? If you want slammed, you could get the H&R Race springs if they make it for your car.

ppl have commented that the tokico springs dont offer much of a drop, but they dont offer much stiffness either.

but anything is going to be stiffer than stock.

i personally recommend eibach pro kits with illuminas. it was a great ride with my crx. never bottomed out, lowered just enough tho. with the shocks you set it and forget it.
