Choices on springs

I am considering the following...

either Progress Springs, Neuspeed Race, Tein Springs, or Goldline Springs...

i drive a 2002 LX Sedan...

Which ones have the best ride quality, for the price... i can get them all within the same price range... i just want to get advice on the suspension experts before i regret a decision...

well first thing first... you have listed a couple different drops.. you should decide on the drop you want before choosing which company.
Progress - STAY AWAY especially on a sedan. the rear is going to be much lower then the front
Neuspeed Race - 2.25" drop. i think its a perfect drop
teins - i think 1.3"? just isnt low enough
goldlines - 1.75" almost low enough

but then since you have a sedan the choice is even smaller. with most spring company besides a few such as neuspeed sports and goldline, spring manufactures design their springs for COUPES. problem putting this on a sedan is the sedan weighs more in the rear so what happens is the rear is lower then the front.
neuspeed doesnt make sedan springs for the race. the rear might be slightly lower(not as much as the rest since the springs are pretty stiff).
you might want to look at the neuspeed sports. they offer springs for the sedan. the drop isnt low enough but its EVEN.
Goldlines make a sedan version too and its about the same drop as neuspeed sports BUT the drop is inconsistant. some say the rear is lower then the front others say its perfect.
but ya i recommend neuspeed sports if you want to know its done right.
