Default Which springs?

Which would be best for my car, they'll be on 15's for now and 17's later in the spring.
I plan on driving my car everyday and still want to have a decent comfortable ride.

Out of the 3 suspensions I have had, sprint (2.2" drop), ebay coilovers (don't know WTF I was thinking) and eibach (1.8" drop) I have been most pleased with the eibachs. Decent ride, fairly stiff (hardly any body roll) but not bouncy at all. Then again I have a front and rear strut tower brace and that hooks up handling too, but again overall the eibachs are decent quality and decently priced. I bought mine for 75 bucks and 25 for shipping used off ebay. I voted for eibach. If you are wanting a good overall spring that supplies decent drop, good construction, fair prices and awesome ride quality then go for eibach (sounds like a sales pitch)*

The same as the H&R I believe since they are the same spring. Two fingers give or take in the front and the rear?

1.5 inch on a accord would leave at least a three finger gap.

on a 5th gen accord is a 1.75 drop worth the money...I do live in minnesota so i wanted it to be high enough so i dont f*** it up in pot holes and also in the snow...so will the 1.75 be enough to make it look lower and stay safe at the same time?

I have the Tanabe DF210's, I believe its around a 1.75 inch drop and the springs handle about the same as the Eibachs i had before..... Just matters on what spring rate you want and height.
Sportlines look great with 17's though
