Default Suggestions on the following springs...

So I've been researching on springs for 1990 CRX and I've found 4 that I may be interested in.
1) H&R OE Sport Springs (.75" front and back): I guess you can't really go wrong with these considering H&R specializes in springs.
2) HKS Super Form Springs (1.0" front and back): Haven't heard all too much about these, but I should say that HKS DOES specialize in Japanese car performance.
3) Spoon Springs (22mm front and back): Haven't heard anything about these springs...don't even know if there is an application to CRX's...but it is Spoon Sports so it must be decent.
4) Grex (GREDDY) Sport Springs (1.0" front and back): Like the HKS', haven't heard all too much about these, but GREDDY DOES specialize in Japanese car performance.
I can't decide between these springs (much less even find them!). If you know anything about these springs, have personal experience with them, or know who sells them for a reasonable price, please give me some advice. As you can see from these selections, I'm looking for a conservative spring set up; nothing more than an inch. Thanks guys...and girls.

I would go with the OE sports, they are great. ben@importparts.com has them.

I have the sports and some friends of mine have the OE sports. You cannot go wrong with them.

What kind of shocks did you mate your H&R OE Sport Springs with? I've been looking at the Bilstein HD's as well as the Koni Specials and Sports. I don't plan on doing any kind of hardcore racing with this car, but I'd like some sportiness to it still. I've read that the Bilstein HD's are no good with lowering springs. Although I think I'd prefer the Bilsteins, I may end up with Koni Specials. I dunno...

I have tokico blues with my H&Rs (integra) and I cannot recommed them, sorry.

On my CRX I have ground control coilovers and kyb agx adjustables in the front/tokico illuminas in the back. The setup is awesome and is completely adjustable. Definately go for the adjustable shocks, they are well worth the money. You can set them on completely soft for a smooth freeway ride, and set them full stiff if you feel like racing around

I'm running Skunk2 coilovers w/KYB AGX's & I'm very happy with the setup. Right now my rears are dropped all the way & the fronts are about 1" up from the bottom of the coilovers. (Once I get my A pipe shortened I'll be able to drop the front some more) The guys at the shop who tinted my windows drove the car back to drop it off commented on how smooth the ride was for as far dropped as the car was. I haven't tested the ride with more than two people, two sets of golf clubs and my sub box yet, but I don't think I'll be packing 4-5 people very often in any case.
