Want great handling and a medium drop but can't afford coilovers?
H&R race or Steeda Comps.

Want a slight drop with a small improvement in handling?

The C springs are much stiffer. B springs are progressive front + back and C's are linear in front, progressive in the rear. They both lower the car about 1.2" in the front and .75" in the rear.
Spring rates:
B's = 425-530 lb/in front and 200-300 lb/in rear.

C's = 650 lb/in front and 200-300 lb/in rear

I am extremely happy with my setup. Total cost was about $420 for my C springs and Tokico shocks/struts. Handles and rides nicely.
