Tanabe GF210...~30% stiffer with a moderate drop. They're about 90% of my Tein Flex coilovers, stiffness/ride quality wise.

Little bit auto cross for ****s and giggles, but mainly 1/4 mile run. Also all in all to make it look better as well.

We use the RCE springs on our i-club project STI. Reasonable drop and good ride quality compared to stock. Has held up very well in street class time attack as well.

The Tanabe is another good option

tein s tech look awesome but ride like crap, just be prepared to visit your physical theripist once you've ditched the stock setup, i have heard a lot of good things about the swifts i think maybe i'll rock a set once i get my exhaust finished(dp first!)
