depends on how big of a drop you want. i have the eibach prokit and its the perfect drop for me. i think the sportlines would be good for you if you like the neuspeed springs

"ive heard". dont base your decision by this. there are PLENTY of people that daily drive there si with coilovers. its all personal preference. if your going for something cheap but good id get the skunk pro-s!

I'm kinda in a simliar situation. I have the HFP suspension on my car but I think I want a bigger drop. Unfortunately I sold my stock Si supsension awhile back, so I'm looking at either trying to get a stock Si suspension + springs, or putting new springs on the HFP supsension. Coilovers would be nice but I don't want to spend the money on them. There seems to mixed reviews on putting different springs on an HFP suspension so I dunno what to do.

skunk2 pro-s. Can't beat the price and the ride is cool if you don't mind some bumps. If you live around good streets its fine.
