Default Mild drop recommendation?

What is a quality brand of springs for a mild drop for a 00 Civic SI? I have used Eibach ProKit before, but I am thinking maybe going just a little lower...

What do you consider "mild?" Some consider barely noticeable mild where others consider barely tucking to be mild. I think the lowest springs are the Skunk2 race springs

I consider a mild droip to be something like the Eibach Prokit. What other drops are similar to the ProKit?

I'm pretty sure the Eibach ground control is a good choice. That's what I'm going to get and I've heard nothing but good things about them. They come pretty much in whatever length and spring rate you want as well.

Right now I have the H&R sport cup suspension on my car (comes with the adjustable shocks made by Koni) and the ride is incredible, but its waaaay too soft (276 lb./in spring rates I believe) and the drop is about two inches all around. So I wouldn't get the H&R's if you're looking to go lower or have improved handling. Get something that's capable of going a bit lower than 2 inches if you want the look. adjustable springs would be my recommendation (like the gc)

The cup kit is an excellent suspension for daily duties and some light track.

The Eibach Sportlines will be a little lower than the Pro Kit.

If they're not low enough, H&R Race Springs will be the lowest...2.5" drop

How about the Megan springs? They advertise a 1.7 inch drop which is slightly lower than the ProKit. Are Megans any good? Any pics of a Civic on Megans?
