Default Best springs for autox and occasional track days?

I'm considering getting new springs. I don't want to lower my car for looks; that simply doesn't interest me. But I might benefit from a slight lowering to get a "free" camber adjustment (since camber is not otherwise adjustable).

So, Ideas on best springs for autox and occasional track use, with mild lowering? If it matters, I will likely match these up with some Koni shocks. I already have Cusco sways on. I will be using the standard Touring wheels with my Toyo Proxes T1-S tires for street duty, and on Z Track wheels with 275/35 Hoosiers.

Opinions?

slight lowering will not give you the amount of camber one would want for an autocross / track scenario...

but for your needs... I would sugest the TEIN S-Tech's if you were to do only springs...

In stock ready to ship $170 shipped price for forum members...

I second the RS*R's - they will be going on my G35 coupe within the next couple months (along w/ Hotchkis sways)

Are these linear springs? Drop?

Those Ti2000's look very intriguing.
