spring recommendation?

im going to have my car back from the shop tomorrow with my full ks kit on. im dropped on espilir springs right now and already on my stock bumper id be scraping at speed bumps and most dips. i would like a better height level and need some recommendations to ride with since i live in the city with bumps and dips everywhere. should i go back stock height or a different aftermarket springs?

this is only temporary to have a better ride for now until i get my coils

Go straight to coils. I got springs because I desperately wanted a drop, and I told my self I wouldn't get coils for a while. I ended up getting coils 2 months after I got springs and I wasted money and my effort in the process (I installed the springs myself, took them off, put on coils, etc). Coils are much better because they are obviously height adjustable and the spring rate matches the shock, so you wont run into any problems like you might if you ran AM springs on OEM shocks. Just my 2 cents.

Coilovers, why waste your time and $ on more springs?

I bought coilovers because I wanted to lowest possible drop without scraping entering my driveway. My car is litterally a few mm from hitting the floor when entering my driveway. Can you imagine how many springs I would have had to try out to get there?
