As far as springs go I know robispec has some, not too big of a drop its like an inch. Tien has some coming out with almost a 2 inch drop in the front and 1.5 in the rear. I have also seen members use 08-09 gts springs on there Ra with no problem. Hope this helps you a bit, I'm waiting to see how good the teins are. Cuz I don't like the front gap at all lol.

well there's a WW from puerto rico that has Tanabe springs on it the picture is in the "post pics of your RA" thread. I think it has the best looking drop from all the ones I've seen. Tried posting it but couldn't figure out how. Anyway heres the link to the thread hope it works.

I'm holding out for the tein s-tech springs. They in development right now. It's gonna be a 2.1 inch drop up front and 1.9 in the rear. That's gonna be hella sexy!

I drove Alex (hernandez) RA on sunday. The ride feels super good, and the drop makes it look amazing. He convinced me of doing it; I'm just waiting to get the money so I can drop mine too

Go for Eibach, that's what Alex has (rally red RA above). Ride is as confortable, if not better than stock.

Edit:

Found the springs at TireRack.com; I'm ordering my own set!
