Default Lowering Springs for the GE?

Haven't really found too many manufacturers that offer them...
Some springs that I've seen package springs in the "07 08 09" year range but I'm thinkin' that's pretty sketchy since the body style change.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to some lowering springs?

I used to have a 2inch drop on my civic, so I like sitting relatively low...

On top of that, I have noticed that for the GD models the drop was lower towards the front where as the GE's are more towards the rear. (ex. Eibach's Pros 07-08 1.6" F 1.4 R and 09+ where 1.2" F 1.4 R) Can anyone explain the reasoning for that? Thanks

in my opinion i believe this occurs because it gives it a more sportier look than how other models are lower in the back ??not sure but thats my 2 cents in

Also, Progress just released their springs kit for the GE8, along with their add-on Rear Anti-Sway Bar. www.progressauto.com

No questions, just a "good luck" wish. All of the experienced posters on at least 3 forums that I participate in either replace springs and rear shocks with coilover suspension, or use lowering springs. Nothing else. If "adjustable springs" worked well, they would be a hot topic on forums. The fact that they are not suggests that you will not be happy with your purchase. But please let us know how they work!
