Default Springs with modest drop?

Hi, I'm looking for some springs for a 5th gen with a modest drop... Currently I'm riding on some springs that are 1.7" front 1.6" rear drop. Anyone know of any brands that only lower it around .75"? I'd like to have that slightly dropped look, and still be able to get up my driveway...

Thanks everyone.

I checked out H&R's site for the OE Spec ones and it was something like .25 front/rear... thats not even worth it.

You can get some coil-overs and lower it to your satisfaction.

The cheapest I can find a decent set of coilovers is around 300 bucks for some ground controls... I'd rather spend about half of that for a set of springs.
