Default Neuspeed Race -or- Skunk2 springs?

I just picked up a 96 Civic coupe for a daily driver and it needs new springs. I'm between Neuspeed and Skunk 2. Im looking for a 1 inch gap or less all the way around with reasonable ride quality. I've heard that Skunk2 springs are a bit harsh, and I know Neuspeed tends to sag in the rear. If you have had any experience with either, please share. Pictures would be great. Thanks in advance!

IMO Skunk 2 would be good for daily driving because I have them on my car as of now. They feel great on the corners, and on the bumps, but the big pot holes is where I really feel them, just depends on what setup youre going with. Shocks play a major factor as well.

Just go with coilovers so you can set the gap the exact way you want it. But as far as your question goes... go with Skunk2.
