Default best springs for stock struts

hey guys, i dont have much money at all. and i currently have some fubar r1 coil-overs on stock struts which is unbarable. i like how low it is 2.5 all around. but keep thinking there has to be something better for cheap out there (ride wise) all i do is drive street. so i just want a decent smooth ride. i heard non coilovers are the way to go. But my question is. Which company gives the best drop while keeping the ride quality decent for roads on stock struts. thanks in advance.

H&R sports or Eibach Pro Kit will be fine if your stock struts are still good but id recomend good struts anyway

You'll need some springs that have almost the identicle spring rate as stock, and under a 1" drop.

i have RSR street springs - theyre about a 2 in drop.. and a softer spring rate so itll keep your stock struts bouncin longer. But still hard enough to whip around.

RSR =

so progress is a good spring that puts the car at a nice stance with little wheel gap and rides better than adj coilovers ? i found a decent price at 150. jus making sure they are good before i purchase.

cant use H&R race with stock struts..spring rate is to high...H&R sports ride hella nice and are stiff enough to corner good but not so stiff you skip over bumps.
