Are there any options out there for someone wanting to go stiffer on the spring rates than the option above without having to invest (not only $$ but time) in coilovers. My priorities are a quality suspension which maintains travel and correct geometry (no more than 0.75" drop).

What about Swift Spec-R(4.4/5.3)? Those and Tarmacs are the firmest springs currently if I'm not mistaken. Swift is a good quality too. The Spec-R is a tad softer in the front than the RCE Tarmacs (4.4k, similar to the RCE Yellows); but, a little firmer in the rear (5.3k). So it's a little different balance than the square rates of the RCE options; but at the same time similar rates..like a mix of the two. But, it does lower it more (with a slight rake..which I like).
My top choices would be: Spec-R, RCE Yellows, RCE Tarmacs/Greys ...depending on what your desired susp characteristics are,of course (ie: softness/firmness, f/r balance, more/less oversteer/understeer; it's all subjective). You want to gain more oversteer - get Spec R. Less Oversteer or more understeer, get RCE Tarmacs. Less firm, get Yellows. etc.
