I think you're pretty much stuck looking for a used set these days.

Why are these springs so sought after?

The springs, imo, are overrated. Unless you're heavy into autox/road racing, then these springs are probably not for you.

They do make the car handle like it's on rails, but the street manners (very rough) are more than expected.

I disagree!
I have had the LGM Hypercoils. These are the perfect street / AutoX spring.

ride really great. lowers the car approx. 1in. in front, 1.5 in. in the rear.
I love mine! JMO!!!

The Hypercoils are a different spring I think. LG springs were much stiffer.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just felt they were too rough for the 99.1% daily driving that I do.

Possibly H&R Stage II. Similar ride height, slightly more spring rate. Not perfect, but I like mine.

I bought my LG Hypercoils and I love them! LG told me the Hypercoils and G2's were very similar.
