Lowering a first gen...

Ok, ok i know its bad, but i got a set of cut springs on my SE. I will eventually switch to proper springs. But before i do, i wanted to know what are your opinions on certain springs.
For instance, I was looking a the intrax springs, B&G springs, King springs(australian springs) and maybe coil overs for the front.
If any one has had any experiences with any of these and would like to share, good or bad.
Thanks

I have never heard of any of those brands. I would try something a little more tried and true. RB, Koni, Tokico, Suspension Techniques, Eibach, etc.

Also, what kind of driving are you buying the suspension for? Do you want a smooth ride or bone jarring handling?

Just about anything will be better than cut springs...

I have used both ST and Eibach, to me the ST's seemed to be lowering coils, where as the Eibachs were more of a performance coil.
I have Eibachs on all of my cars now
