Roadracemotorsports.com and Works are the only two options at the moment.

"Quite" ????
The heaviest, the GTS, weighs 3000 lbs. What's a Ralliart weigh? 2800 or so, depending on tranny?

No, I'm disagreeing with you.
If you have a 200 lb. passenger and I don't, the cars are exactly the same...
EDIT - 2006 Ralliart weights 2900 or 3000 lbs depending on tranny. 2008 GTS weighs 3000 or 3100 depending on tranny. That is NOT very far apart. Springs would be fine with the weight difference. Like I said, it's like having one more passenger.

you could say that, but with my lowered 1999 civic, 150-200 pounds was all the difference

Yeah, 200 lbs. makes a difference. But that doesn't mean RA springs would be unsafe on the 08.

No, that would be really bad for the car. Cutting springs is a BAD idea.
If you want the stock rake, buy the Works springs. They're on sale for $269 right now.
