Deciding on springs, little help here!

Ok, Its time for me to start looking into wokring on my 03 EX. I've decided to get a set of springs, but I'm not sure which ones I want. I'm looking at either Nuespeed Sport springs, Tein S Tech, H&R, or Eibach Sporline. Here what I want, maybe this will help. I want about a 2 inch drop. With no sagging down the road. I plan on getting a set of 17s soon. I'm going to get 215/40/17 or 215/45/17 as my tire size and I want to be able to have a 2-2.5 finger gap all away around. And I would like to be able to put a camber kit on and not rub. What do you guys think? Have any pics too? Thanks.

I'm think Tein Tech or Nuespeed sport. I know that the Nuespeed is 1.75F and 1.5B. What about the Tein? And how much will it settle?

So about a 2 inch drop after it all settles. Anyone got pics of there rides with Tein Techs besides the one shown above? I searched, but didn't find much.

Also anyone know the spring rate on the Eibach sportlines? And they are a 1.5" drop all the way around correct? Sorry for all the questions, but I just want ot get the best spring for my wants. If that makes sense. LOL
