If I were to go with springs I would probably consider the S-Techs or Comptech/Eibach Springs, but I really don't think I am gonna go that route.

I am leaning more towards either going with the HFP suspension for the sake of not voiding my warranty mainly, yet still improving my suspension slightly.

or

Going with the Ground Control sleeved coilover with a street spring rate on the stock strut until the Koni Yellows become available (then I could always change my spring rate if I wanted to). That way I will have height adjust ability giving me the ability to fine tune the cars stance and down the road once I get an after market strut I would be able to properly corner weight the car if I wanted to.

As far as coilovers go I am most likely gonna stay away from them with my Si unless I can get a ride in a couple different Si's I know of locally which are lowered on coilovers to see how they ride. If they ride the way my GSR did forget about'm.
Best of luck. Let us know what you decide and how it works out.
