Default Race Springs

what springs do you guys run? i'm looking for a stiff ride with a nice low drop. what companies offer stiff springrates with a nice drop? a friend of mine mentioned KGMM springs, but it seems no one in the states carry this brand. i was thinking 8kg for the front and 6kg for the rear. you think thats to stiff for a daily driver? keep in mind i like feeling every pothole and pebble i go over . i know coilovers sounds like an easy anwser since i want a nice drop and all. the coilover kit i would want is way to damn expensive. let me know what you guys think.

KONI Sport shocks and custom rated coilover springs. http://www.truechoice.com should give you a start. I think each spring is somewhere between $50-75.

skunks comes in 8kg and 6kg for civics which is around 450, 350. same as ground control.
you can get integra spring rates which are 10kg and 8kg. (550lb, 450lb)

i have skunks 8,6kg. still a bit soft imo when my damper is set at #3. step upto #5, FIRM.
