Default What springs would you guys recommend for a USDM EP3?

I'm thinking of getting springs as the next mod for my car. My car is a daily driver that might see 2-3 autoxing events a summer. I mainly want to get rid of some body roll and would like to lower the car a little bit too. I will be using stock shocks...

I was thinking of getting the Spoon Progressive, but they're 150-200 dollars more than the others (~$335), and all the ITR guys have a problem with the rear end being dropped more than the front. I don't really know how the others would stack up against the Spoons. So what would you guys recommend?

What about Tanabe? I have a set of Tanabe NF210's ready to be installed on my EP and my buddy has a set of Tanabe DF210's on his. He loves them, and he had previously had my springs on his car and they looked great as well.

is there a budget constraint that needs to be factored in?

Personally I'd go for the h&r sport springs if you auto-x.

the ideal drop for the ep3 is about 1.3-1.5" - this is mostly due to the HORRIBLE camber curve for the rear.

I'm not a huge fan of the eibach sportline springs as they tend to allow a lot of dive during hard cornering.

A lot of the guys in atlanta also like the progress springs - but those drop 2.0" all around.

I'm getting the h&r springs personally.

There is a budget, because I can't afford full coil-overs at this time. So I guess the budget would be roughly 350 bucks.
