I put on ssc/cm springs a month ago and I love them. They provide a decent drop while still keeping the car drivable and the ride comfortable. I don't track though only for looks.

Unfortunately its either "all show and no go" or "form does NOT meet function" with our suspension.
You want a crappy ride, busted fenders, tire cuts, etc. You will look good and low but its not considered performance. If you like speed, 80mph highway dips will destroy your fenders and potholes will destroy your wheels, there is nothing there to soak up the beating on the unsprung weight.
You want performance and respect when someone asks you about your suspension and a great daily driver then go with Powell/Koni/stock front sway bar (sc front swaybar is slightly larger than tc). Even the 180 dollar CM springs are an improvement.
Sounds bias but go read around the forums, stance guys have posted every other page about how they hate how it beats on the car and the poor ride.

I just put skunk2 coil overs and struts on my old beater 1991 civic. Worst decision.......ever. I feel like my kidneys are going to fall out when I hit a bump. Stay away from coil overs.
