Default best lowering springs for 88 CRX with B16a (1st gen)

like the topic says. looking for you guys opinion on which springs to get for a CRX with a B16 swap. i have the H&R sport springs on my civic and they ride great but don't know if anyone likes anything better for a CRX.

and esspecially since the car will have the DOHC as opposed to the SOHC will that effect the way the car sits in the front? like because the DOHC weighs more?

it doesnt really matter the b16a is only 50-70lbs more.

I disagree - I owned my car before the swap, and the difference in handling is substantial in the way that the car does not rotate through the corners (continues to understeer), and the way the front end dives under braking/cornering - both direct effects of the swap.

I'm not being confrontational, but I think he wants to know what manufacturers are producing springs specifically for the extra weight of the swaps.
Ground Control is a good place to start looking.
