new springs/coilovers

i've serched and searched but yet have not found a clear answer. i'm looking for new spring or a coilover kit for my gtus. the problem is that i have 18 inch rims and am limited to a very little drop up front due to wheel offset. i was looking at a set of mk1 coilovers. i read that many dislike the kit, but they offer a little drop up front. i plan on getting new struts too. but i really was hoping that i could get some positive input on springs that don't drop the front too much. also some price would be nice cuz i'm on a tight budget cuz i have to pay for college. thanks in advance.

Eibachs the way to go for you then. Drops under an inch(.75-.8) all around. Don't think anything else drops less. Or you can go with Suspension Specialities from rx7.com or equivalent with a .8 drop in front and 1.4 in rear.
