I'm deciding on twhich springs to get, I'd pretty much made up my mind with the shocks, just the springs now.. I basically is looking for street use & something on the handling side of things.. anyone had any experience with any of the ones below? please give comments or suggestions if not listed.. :) thanks.

Kings:
F rate: 240lbs(4.3kg/mm) drop: 35mm
R rate: 215-240lbs/in(3.8-4.3kg/mm) drop:35mm

Whiteline:
F rate: 185-246lbs/in(3.3-4.4kg/mm) drop:25-30mm
R rate: 257-428lbs/in(4.6-7.6kg/mm) drop:25-30mm

Tein S-Tech:
F rate: 157lbs/in(2.8kg/mm) drop:40mm
R rate: 180-291lbs/in(3.2-5.2kg/mm) drop:40mm

Tanabe GF210:
F rate: 170lbs/in(3.0kg/mm)max drop:35mm
R rate: 320lbs/in(5.7kg/mm)max drop:40mm
these suppose to be progressive springs but the manufacturer did not supply me with the numbers.

Eibach Pro-kit:
F rate: 120-196lbs/in(2.2-3.5kg/mm) drop:25mm
R rate: 180-397lbs/in(3.2-7.1kg/mm) drop:25mm

I believe Eibachs work quite well with the Konis, otherwise I would go with the Tein S-Techs. I have heard plenty of good reviews about these springs on various makes of cars from Hondas, Nissans and right through to BMWs.

They would be my picks...I would go the Teins but that's just because they are are a bit lower.
