for lowering springs your options are: eibach, trd, sprint, tein coilovers, ksport coilovers(not sure on this one)

we need more info, what size tires do you have? are you swapping just springs out?

I have sprints on my 5sfe...
The front springs made no difference in drop so I cut two coils off lol
The rear ones had a good drop but they sag after a while.
Now I have spacers in my rear springs cause I haul heavy stuff, such as a backseat with 200+lb guys.
BTW I'm on tokico shocks. Before the shocks they were very bouncy (of course). I recommend you save up for some quality suspension

spacers for the springs? can you elaborate? is that another spring insulator pad thing..?

Ive had Sprints before in A past car and I was not too happy with them. Ever since I put Teins in my 91' 240SX thats what I put in all my cars thereafter.
Of course your probably going for a different kinda suspension set-up than me. It seems that your looking for a spring just to close up the gap in the fender. As I look more toward a spring that an handle the corners at higher rates of speed.
When you get a chance, post up some pics of your current set-up.
