suggestions for springs/struts

[jmv]

so, i really want my car to be lower, just for aesthetics. But i'd also really like to improve the dynamics of it for auto-x purposes at the same time. I'd love to get more experienced autocrosser's opinions on if there is a spring i can mate with the stock tokico struts that will give me an improvement, or if i need to step up to upgraded struts/full coilovers in order to experience any real improvements. I don't have much of a budget at all at the moment so if i can do just springs with a bit of a performance increase, i think thats the route i'll take.

Thanks for the input.

What tires are you running?

yokohama AVS ES100. yes i know tires would make a bigger improvement in my times, but one thing i really want for the car is for it to look lower. I probably won't be getting new tires till these wear out anyway....

if the look is that important, go for it; but you're not going to get much of a performance increase w/ marginally stiffer springs. if that's what you want, spend the money on a rear sway bar...easier to install, as well.
