what springs to use?
Well unless you go with coilovers you will get a drop. If you want performance with a small drop then EiBachs are the way to go. A lot of people recommend the EiBach springs and the KYB struts. Personally I have the EiBach springs, struts, and sway bars. If you dont want the car to drive like a tank I wouldnt recommend it. I enjoy the ride but some passengers have complained lol.

Blacktibs should be able to get us some different struts than KYB's once FlyRyde's officially lauches
*hint* <sniff> <sniff> do I smell a pre-grand opening sale for rd members on struts? <sniff> <sniff> hmm.......
otherwise, everyone will say Eibach's and KYB's. You'll get a little drop but not enough to scrape on crappy roads or anything. Eibachs are known to sacrifice a litlle drop for a comfy ride, while others like H&R, and HKS, etc. give larger drop.
I think there is such a thing as sport springs which don't lower car, just give stiffer suspension. Never heard of a manufacturer for tibs though....
maybe someone will know.

I definately noticed better cornering after installing the Eibachs. If you have crappy roads though, you are going to feel it more.
It is my understanding that there is a direct tradeoff - either you get stiff springs that corner well but give a rough ride on a bumpy road, or you get soft springs that give a smooth ride on a bumpy road, but do not take corners well.
