ST185 Springs

Im looking at lowering my celica by about 2" which would keep it nice and legal.
Now, the problem im facing at the moment, is that most springs that i've found around the place are designed for the st184 celica. And are probably a bit to soft of the heavy GT4.
Now apart from Eibach and Whiteline who make properly designed springs, who else is out there?
I've looked at
-Pedders
-King Springs
-Lovells Springs
Anyone else im missing. Or better yet, if you have experience with springs in a GT4, your opinion would be appreciated.

go easy with lowering it.
You can destroy the handling. When you lower it the camber will change not in handling favour.
Just what ive learnt.
you forgot whiteline!! use them as they have a gt4 handling pack that will lower your car correctly.

I ended up going with king springs, seem alright, and a bit bouncy!
Along with the whiteline rear swar bar.
