Default what kind of spring can you use on a stock ITR

I asked myself this question : what kind of drop springs can you use that can work well with the stock dampers without bouncing.... because I find the stock ITR a little bit too high maybe a 3/4 inch lower will be nice.... thanks... I know comtech sells 3/4 inches springs for ITR but I was not able to get the info from comptech to see of they work well with stock shocks....

yeah I was thinking about Tein as well. I would also like to know how it rides and handles over stock.

would the tein springs be too low for JDM dc sports headers?
and about how long would stock struts last with these springs ?

Any time you lower the car on stock shocks or increase the spring rate (which is usually neccesary to avoid hitting the bumpstops) you comprimise the life of the shock.
