Ground Control.

They use Eibach race springs and you can pick out the rates you want to match with the stock shocks (assumption).

I've been running the 340F/380R setup for a good 30K+ miles (lowered 1.5") and the car feels just as good as day 1. Once the damn good stock Showas start showing their age, I'll probably end up with Koni Yellows and call it a day.

FYI, 99% of my driving is done on the streets.

If I ever decide to step it up another level, I'd bypass the typical JDM coilovers and end up with Ohlins sold through Comptech and s2ki.com.

Good luck with your decision.

Regards,

how often do you plan on adjusting the height of the coilovers? how often do you see yourself testing out new spring rates? adjustable spring perches on coilovers are there for more than adjusting the ride height of the car, in fact their pupose is for tuning with different spring rates not really height adjustability besides corner balancing.
