Springs (not lowering)

I guess it's time for me to get some Springs and shocks. I am not interested in lowering the car as I live in Puerto Rico where the roads are all pot-holed. Therefore I am thinking of getting some springs which do not lower the car but do offer a better peformance/stiffness than the OEM stocks. Does anyone know of such a product? I checked out the springs page, but all the springs listed there do lower, even if it's by .5". Are there any springs out there that will offer a better performance w/o sacrificing ride height?

PS: For shocks I was thinking of getting some Koni Sport Shocks. Anyone have anything good/bad to say about them? Let me know what you think!

i believe most if not all spring/shock combo all lower the car..if you're really concerned about ride height i'd go with coilovers then.


but your best bet is racing beat springs...the drop on those are really mild and looks almost stock still.

I love the RB's for the roads up here in NH, tho sometimes you still need to slow down cuz it just shakes ya too much.
