Default what springs will give me the drop i'm looking for?

i know, i know.. the first thing you people will tell me is to search.. and i did. well, i'm looking for a set of springs that would ride smooth on stock struts while i save up for some shocks. i want a drop that's roughly about a 1 finger gap. i hear good things about h&r's but some say they wish it would be lower.. can someone also post pictures of their suspension set-up, preferablly EG's? btw, does anyone have the TEIN s-techs on their ride? thanks!

Get coilovers if you are more interested in the height than anything else. GCs or other coils would suit you well.

go with GC's if you want to have it juuust the way you want. I have Tein springs and w/ my 15's there's almost a finger gap but no tuck.

haha you changed your mind with one comment....

if you only want the height you mentioned dont bother with coilovers, but if your not sure if the height is exactly what you want get the GC and "set it and forget it."
