I have tried neuspeed full coilovers, neuspeed greens&yellows, GC coilovers, Eibach springs, Some cheapo e-bay $75.00 coilover system, Sprint, MaxSpeed, and some other cheapo RSR or LSR or something like that. I think the neuspeed greens have the smoothest ride for the price and Eibach Ford Mustang springs are the smoothest ride I've ever had on a lowered car. I'd really like to try out TEIN, but I don't have that kind of money.

Sprints are not cheap springs. They ride great. And stiffen everything up nicely!

I've had cut stocks, Eibach Pro Kits, Sprint, 2 sets of Suspension Techniques, Progess, and RS coilover sleeves all on my 92 VX. The Progress with Tokico blues had a nice low stance and firm ride. I recenly sold those and ordered some Tein SS coilovers, which I'm sure will be much better than anything I've had.

Eibach Pro Kit - lowered about 1.5", rides smooth but not stiff enough
Cut Stocks - lowers as much as you cut, bouncy and unsafe
Sprint - lowered about 2.5", bouncy and sagged quick
Sus. Tech - lowered about 2", not bad
Progress - lowered about 2.5", firm not harsh, good quality
RS coilovers - lowered 1"-4", way too stiff, locked perches
Tein SS - haven't got them on yet, hope they are as good as people say they are

I just got a set of sportlines with some spoon shocks for my 92 Hatch, a little stiff but so far no complains. I upgraded from a set of suspension techiques springs, they tend sag alot. I really liked the Tokico 5-way adjustables, for the price, I think they were excellent. Didn't really care too much for the ST springs.

I hear Ground control coil overs are pretty good, you can get specific spring rates for what you need. My buddy over at Hybrid Garage was running GC and didn't have any complaints.

As far as deciding on what springs to get I think you should figure out if you want it for drage or street course type racing. Then decide from there what your options are.

That's just my $0.02

i currently use sprint springs, but I'm a big fan of H&Rs ever since they were installed on my old Accord.
