Good Springs?

I recently purchased a set of R1's and Tokico Blue's, and I'm unhappy. The ride is rather bouncy, the shocks just can't handle the spring rate of the cheap $150 coilovers. What is a good set of springs to get for my 98 Civic EX Coupe? I want a drop of 1.5-2 inches all around. I know I can probably get better springs if I don't buy adjustables, but since I don't know the exact height I want I would prefer adjustable springs.

Well any coilovers you get are going to be bouncy. If you want a good spring that lowers about 1.5-2" then i would go with the Eibach Sportlines which drop it 1.8" If you want a little bit more, i believe sprint does a 2 1/2" front and 2 1/4" rear drop.

All adjustables will be bouncy? Even ones from a company as reputable as Skunk2?
