Lowering Springs

hey guys does anyone know what is a little higher drop than the H&R springs ?? I am thinking of taking off my H&R springs and getting springs that aren't as low..1 inch higher on both sides should be perfect. I love the way H&R's stand but it is to low for me because every time i get into my driveway i have to angle it alot because my driveway is really steep and, no matter how much i angle it the bottom catalog converter scrapes...So if anyone can help me and tell me which springs are a little higher id appreciate it..

ps. i am putting the H&R springs up for sale it is in perfect condition pm me if interested..
thx

Eibach's should bring the front up. Tein H-Tech have historically had the least drop.

tanabe nf213 have (f/r) 1/.07 drop rate so that might be worth a try. i know how you feel... when i dropped my car much as i can (about 2.5" drop) with my coilover, it was pain in the a$$... i realize i had to raise it when i couldnt get into KFC!!! hahaha

Impul pics can be found here. Tanabe can be found here.

I think Eibach and H&R are the only ones that have truly created springs for our version. I think everything else they are using the same springs and drop amounts for the 1st gen. But with our heavier car they are all dropping lower than published amounts. That's just my thought at least...becuse the Tanabe's look low...

Actually H&R uses the same part number for both generations.
