What brand springs should I use?, what did you use?

Ok, I don't know if this question or topic has been up before but I've searched all around and haven't been able to find any coilovers for second generations. I would buy springs but I see that the choices are limited, either Eibach, Suspension Technices, Racing Beat or RSR. Is there any other spring manufacturer that has available products for FC's?? Also, if you have your ride lowered, what did you use??

I have Apex springs, they are nice and tight, and they lower the car by about 1.5 inches. prefect for performance on the street.
