aftermarket struts will help a bit but not much....best bet is to sell them and get lowering springs or get Ground Control coilover sleeves.

Well your best bet is to get better quality lowering springs.
I did that but my ride is pretty stiff now.....I don't know. I never had coilovers so I don't know how different springs and coilovers are. I see a lot of cars going for those Neuspeed lowering springs.

THey have these nice coilovers at my local custom images shop for $200 but I don't want to get them since I THINK that they will give a bad ride quality. Still I think its a better idea to have coilovers than springs.

Honda99, what are those GC ones? Got any pics of links?

GC is short for Grount Control.

I too once had coilovers. Hated it. Now I have Nuespeed Sport springs with a 1" drop. Believe me it's a better ride with a lot less noise.
