I would just like to put forward this little tidbit of info: the key to good handleing is suspension travel. Slammed cars that have 2" of shocks travel will never handle well.

They know that there are rice boys out there who will buy stuff just for looks. I dont blame them, they are just taking advantage of a market. If you want an "ultimate handling package" you need good stuff like Teins or other good coilovers.

Your question was already answered. Those springs are primarily for looks and not performance. Not to mention they will dramatically decrease the lifespan of any off the shelf shock.
If you want good handleing, it starts with weight reduction, better tires, alignment settings and driving techneques. After that, I would look into shocks. Springs and swaybars will help keep body roll down and alter balance.
Take this from someone who competes himself and has worked for an East Coast Honda Challenge pit crew, there is a lot more involved that slapping some springs onto a car to make it handle better.
Yeah, Eibach ProKit and KYB AGX is a nice setup. Personally, i wouldnt buy Prokit again because it offers too little suspension travel. Also, a rear swaybar might be nice to decrease roll a little and balance the handeling a bit.
The best coilovers for the slammed look would be the Motivational Engineering setup. With their custom mounts and shortened strut bodies. I've rode in a lot of lowered cars and most felt like crap, after drivng a 200SX that was extremly low with Motivationals I was shocked.. The earlier post is correct, its all about suspension travel...
A lot of companies make a lot of crap, regradless of the name.. do the research and buy the right parts the first time...
