Default KYB and what kinda springs?

OK i have a 92' accord. Right now im ridin on APC coil overs, KYB AGX adjustabls shocks, and some 17" wheels. l am gonna get rid of the coil overs because they suck. I am going to get lowering springs because i know all coil overs suck compared to springs. What is the best springs to go along with my shocks? I want something that will take most of the wheel gap out, but not cause my shocks to bottom out.

I hear eibach prokit springs go well with the agx. Also, anything lower than 1.5" will void your warranty on the kyb's if you really care, but its not like they can tell if its a little lower though.

I was really dissapointed with my GC Coilovers. Perhaps it was because the spring rates were screwy.

exactly, a big part of coil over systems are how you set them up including spring rate, spring size, shock, etc.
true coil-opver systems are built to your needs
