Ok Bob I'll bite (and repost my results). 
www.coilsprings.com 1.5" lower, 20% stiffer springs custom made for my car. They have the original TC specs for turning a coil. Had to cut an extra .25 inch off the height on the passenger front to get everything equalized as close as possible. Coilsprings walked me through this and backed their product fully. They even offered to send me another set but I'm not that picky if all 4 corners are not .0125" in tolerance. 2 years ago they were $120/set.
Ride is 20% stiffer (LOL). But really it amounts to no bouncey-bounce in soft mode on a speed bump, rides (in a straight line) just a hair stiffer than a 2000 camry (just rode in one so that's my comparison). Does not float like a cadillac like it did..and is quite tight but forgiving when PRC is firm.
Car still sags slightly on the drivers side which I have resigned myself to believing it is a factory intention to counter torque (sounds good even if it's wrong). I have noticed it doesn't always appear to sag either. I have not measured, but I do question, the rear well being the same dimensions as the front (I don't think it is).
With a full trunk and my large mom in the back seat my dad reports having a floating feeling when sitting in the back seat so the rears could probably be even a bit stiffer if you routinely carry passengers and gear. A switch to firm solved what he was feeling.
**side note** When I spoke to coilsprings they had had a few complaints about the car sitting wrong; i.e. sitting the *same* as the factory springs were on my car. We all scratched our heads and they even called me unsolicited a few weeks later to make sure I was happy with my purchase after performing the modification to level things out. It still ain't perfect but like I said it's sitting better than it was.
Great service!
