Default springs for EM1?

i have tein s tech on kyb gr2 struts, it rides nice but i want to stiffen it up some. it seams that due to the soft spring rates that its lower than advertised. its like an inch gap all the way around, im happy with the drop though.

options: skunk2 springs or neuspeed race? are they both progressive?
i dont want to be tucking tire at all, i just want between a half inch to inch wheel gap. i just want a nice even drop and a nice stiff ride. i will upgrade struts later.
i just want something to get me by, im gonna get ground control coils w/ koni yellows later.

If your gonna change the shocks out later than why don't you just save your $$. You might be able to run poly spacers on the spring tops.

Don't get the race springs because they probably are not progressively wound, so they will be much stiffer. From the description on their sites, both the Skunk2 and the Nuespeed springs are quite a bit lower than what you have now.

An Eibach ProKit will about the same height as you have now and will be stiffer. An Eibach sportline will be a little lower and and stiffer than the ProKit springs. The H&R Sport springs are somewhere in between those in terms of height and stiffness. All of those are progressively wound.
