Default adjustable springs

I'll be getting some KYB AGX's in a few weeks for my 98 coupe and I was considering those adjustable coilovers(from HP Racing - anyone heard of them? - NOPI carries them) to go with the new struts. They're not full coilovers, just the spring and threaded sleeve. I was wondering how much better (or worse) these are compared to regular lowering springs (like H&R sport springs). Or, would it be better (and cheaper?)to swap in ITR springs?

I also wanted to check if the adjustable ones change the ride hide in increments, not guesswork on an infinitely adjustable screw. I would assume it's in increments, but I would like that verified.

So does anyone have a setup of AGX's and adjustable coilovers? If so, how is it and did you have any difficulty in installation?

Any other input would be greatly appreciated

I am not too sure, but I think the adjustable coilevers are by screw, not increments. If you're not into racing and then street driving I would go with standard eibach springs. But you might want to check adjustable stiffness struts (tokyko is pretty good).

mostly street, and i'm getting into autocrossing. the kyb agx's are adjustable struts. i was hoping to get adjustable coilovers that would be easy to adjust for street or track. i was considering eibach's earlier, but they're pretty pricey.
