More turning area is needed in the front, that is the reason for the appearence, but as for springs I have the HFP springs on the stock struts looks good, Rides good I am friends with the service MNGR at my Honda dealer and what he did was to put the skunk 2 springs in his si with a 2.250 inch drop up front and a 2.000 in the rear making the car look more level HFP strut is stiff if you want the nicer ride use your strut with an after market lowering spring EIBACH makes a lowering kit for your car that levels it out and only drops you 1.500 in the front and 1.000 in the rear if you don't want to go to low with it or check out the Skunk 2 set up and go lower but the car that low looks great but may be a problem if you travel bumpy roads. Skunk offers a complete kit with struts or just springs. Tein offers a complete set up also these are much less forgiving than stock on long trips you may want a kidney belt. Me being a commuter chose stock struts and the springs are the HFP that were free since my honda man didn't want to use them and with the honda set you can't buy just springs so you will have to go after market to do it this way or change everything, My car does handle much better with that little bit of lowering and still has a desent ride, my friends si with the skunk setup handles amazingly but not over bumps, so some things to consider but I hope this helps.
