Anyone know what my options are?

Stock VRX or Ralliart springs maybe? Only slightly lower but stiffer.

Could also look at Kings SP lows. They are only a tad lower, high than normal lows I think, but are 'sport', being they are quite a bit firmer than normal.

Yup, I have them installed in my magna, they are quite a fair bit firmer, you will feel bumps more than normal, but you still get some decent handling out of it.

The impression I'm under is that they're similar/same spring rate, just different heights (30mm for SP vs 45mm for low).
I wouldn't go for VR-X springs... I noticed a huge increase in handling after going from the stock VR-X suspension to King Lows and KYB shocks (assuming handling is why you want to upgrade).
Is there a reason why you don't want to lower? Magnas sit really high from the factory, and look so so much better after lowering. I'd go for Low SPs at the very least. Even the Lows aren't *that* low - they're a really practical height.

Lows SP are a firmer spring to the standard lows, but you are correct, lows sp are a 30mm drop and lows are 45mm.

Yeah I'm looking for better handling but dont want to go lower because my bodykit sits too low and it'd scrape everywhere if i lowered it...
P.s. its a 2nd gen so I dont think the vrx springs are the go. :cry:

Hmmm thought about bigger wheels (+tyres)? So as to not ruin image (well it has a bodykit).
I know what you mean with the DOHC my spring rate is too high.
