Default Suspension help...

I need some recommendations on springs and sway bars. I'm getting Koni Yellows and i'm considering Eibach pro kit, H&R sports, and Tanabe. Which of these would best be matched with the Koni Yellows? I chose these springs for the minimal drop. This is for my daily driver (the roads here suck) and want a nice performance ride. The only bars I've found have been suspension techniques. Are these recommended and is there any other choices? Oh, this if for a 90 Si hatch with a B18C.
Thanks

This thread helped my choices quite a bit
I went with the RS*R Race springs. Notice the rates they aren't any where close to race springs ( Don't know why they would name them that, with those rates) Just a little extra to handle the weight of the B. Don't ask how they ride - its still not done
For sway bar choices

I hear the have a bigger rear bar that bolts in place of the SI bar

Best way to figure this out is to find out what the valving inside the Koni Yellows are rated for.
I would look it up for you, but I'm feeling lazy.

Then figure out if you want a standard spring or a progressive (progressive varies in coil density giving a better street ride, but at the cost of some performance).

At that point it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what spring manufacturer you with. Just get the proper rate and design.
