No aftermarket springs will maintain stock height. The RB drop is just right, the tires fit much better in the wheel wells. Drop is not drastic, but enough that those "mosterously high speed bumps" in the low-rent appartment complexes make me nervous.

Far, FAR superior. Also, even though the stock Vert sway bars are the thickest for any FC, I'd also consider upgrading to aftermarket sway bars as well.

RB put a lot of R&D in those springs before they finally released them to the market. Trust me, I know.

has anyone had the problem of newer springs actually lifting the car compared to the old worn in springs? Will RB's 1inch drop be enough to compensate for that effect ?

It'll lower it no matter what. The stock springs don't droop that much.

Struts - I use Tokico Blue's and the ride quality is spot on.

I had the RB Vert springs and swaybars along with Tokico Illuminas. The ride was very nice.
