Default H&R race springs for autox prelude?

I've been getting into autox lately and currently run KYB AGX and Tein S.techs. Of course, these springs are WAY too soft for this type of racing

Exhibits A and B:





So I've been looking into some stiffer springs. I'm a college student on a definite budget so the cheaper the better (to a certain extent of course). I consider GC's to be my last option right now since they run about twice as much. I've been considering the H&R race as my number one choice right now but I've had a person, who's knowledge in this area I really trust, say that I will be on the bump stops a lot with this spring since it drops it very low (2in on a prelude is a LOT)

Also, I'm not sure how the AGX's will handle the high rates that the H&R's have. Shock dynos I've read on here show the AGX on firmest setting has a rebound about notch or so below koni yellows full stiff setting. I think they would be fine, or am I wrong?

Just thought I'd get some opinions on what I should do here, I have a month until my next event and I'd like to have my new springs on by then. Thanks in advance



Oh and just for kicks I felt I might add that I just did my first event on my new Direzza sport Z1 SS tires and WOW are they amazing. Couldnt ask for more in a street tire, they handled better in the rain (aquacross!!) than my previous tires did when it was dry lol. Couldnt be happier
