how old are they? mine are fairly new (i am assuming most people have old stock springs that came with the car from factory)
Last year I bought- H&R-OE with KYB GR2s
H&R OEs have .75 inch drop, it lowered the car slightly and improved the handling, but ride comfort sucks.
My car is stock and i only use my car to get around places or college etc
So i plan to put back- Stock springs with KYB GR2s
That should smooth the ride hopefully.
If you want to exchange these springs I can do that.
If not, I will buy from you only if i can afford them.
If you want to go pretty low and still have a good ride height get some civic (EF or something) ground control or skunk coilovers. They have around 300f and 200r spring rates which is just slightly higher than stock.

So Ben let me get this straight your are saying to buy coilovers that are deisgned for a civic and use them on our cars…
Is this right and does it need to be a specific year…
What is the down side to doing this???

Yes it works fine. It works because the perches are identical between Skunk2 civic and integra kits. The springs are all the same diameter and length too. So when you buy the skunk2 kit for a civic, all you’re really doing is buying a lower spring rate. For an integra the rates are 500f/400r, and I believe the Civic is 400f/300r. Not positive on the civic rates, but it’s definitely lower than the integra.
i believe eibach chose a good height/rate with the sportlines for daily driving. i scrape very rarely with 195/60/14. as long as i run through the middle of speed bumps (where the gap is), i can go through about 90% of them at any speed. i wouldnt go any higher than 1.5" in the front.

So do you want to trade springs?? I dont really need lowering springs. Mine are from a 90, btw.
I just lowered mine with Neuspeed Sports and Tokico Blues with Ingalls extreme front and rear, and Yokos on 99 Si wheels. It handles INSANE and rides better than stock. I cut my bump stops about 40% and have no problem with clearance anywhere. Email me if you want pics.
I have koni yellows and they are the best, the ride is smooth and you can really feel why they are more expensive. I also have the eibach sportlines and they are very nice, never ever bouncy but you will bottom out (not enough to worry about) cause the drop is pretty low.
On my other teg i got some tokico blues and they are pretty good. Although with the blues the lower you are the more you can feel that the shock is not really made for lowering. Yet they are good for the price.
