Default Best shox and springs setup

I am looking for the best combo of shox and springs for my 91 hatch for both a good ride and also something that would be good on the track. I am probably going to go with Koni's for the shox but which springs would be good with those. I don't want coil-overs, at least not Ground-Control because I have had bad experiences with those. And I am also planning on putting 15" wheels on them also. thanx.

I've got the prokits and blues with poly bushings all around. It handles great and like the drop (not too much) The ride is good. If I had it to do again, I would spend a little more money on shocks. FWIW, this is my daily driver.

Cut springs on leaky old OEM struts is the best setup in my opinion.
