There's really only 4 options:
Eibach springs
H&R springs (not as much of a drop as the eibach)
cutting the springs (for those that can't fight the Honda tendencies) Just playin....kinda
coilovers (which probably isn't the best for you since you're just scooting around town)
The End

IMO, the Eibach's lower the car too far for a DD. I don't know much about the H&R's to have an opinion. The GC kit is only $500 and you set your own ride height while the other adjustable kits cost a lot more but you get a set of shocks too. If you're just wanting to lower without replacing shocks, I'd go with the GC kit.

The Ground Control allows you to use stock or after market shocks, choose different spring rates and control the height. I track my car and run the QA1's. It's a rough ride for me, but you can choose different spring rates.

H&R is probably the best value. If you're doing this as an appearance mod, be advised it does change the cars' ride noticeably. Most of the aftermarket springs will overpower the shocks a bit, but for the street it shouldn't be a big issue A few drive-ability issues with low driveways and road obstacles. For So. Cal. it's probably a good mod since snow is not an issue either. Car looks great lowered.

Cut stockers still ride pretty close to stock just FYI. I'm running cut stockers on my car for now and I have no complaints. Looks good and doesn't ride much rougher than stock.

I acquired some Eibach springs and am wondering which springs (vs. H&R), if either, lower the car more...considering the same spacers are used? I would prefer the springs with less of a drop...
Thanks
