Which Springs

Which Springs
I wanted to start a thread to get some opinions on some of the springs that I am considering. I searched the forum and did not really find the info that best helped me.
First off I need to explain what I plan on using the car for. I do not track the car but I do enjoy the mountain roads in my area, I go about once a month or more through them. I don't drag race it either. I drive my Evo everyday in downtown Atlanta so the roads can be iffy in places. Right now it is stock ride height which is ok but I would like it lower. I am looking for advice on what would be the best option based on how I use the Evo.
The springs that I am considering are H&R Sport Springs, GTWorx, and Swift Sports. The main reason for a spring change is to lower it and give it a better look.
What other parts should I gather before changing the springs? Will I need a roll center kit, camber plates?

If I was you I would get the GTWorx springs. they lower it about 1/2 inch and up the spring rate to ~300. Wont need top hats or a roll center kit. Car will def handle better.
If you want to do more, get the ES front and rear sway bar bushings and then get the car aligned to zero toe all around, -2 camber front and -1 camber rear.
