Has anyone had any experience with any of these springs

Never heard of panther springs?

Apex and Tein are well known. On that basis, I'd say it's a choice of only 2 from your list.
There's a seperate thread on here today with several people saying they have/had Apex springs and rated them.
Tein coilovers are rated for handling, but also known for corroding. Don't know about the springs only (on either front)?
Eibach are the other well known springs brand, which no-one has anything but good things to say about, too.

PI are pretty good too. My mate had some on his Integra & he was very pleased with them.

I use eibach on oem springs, would definitely recommend them. £240 well spent.

I know it lists different types for PI (as an example) between 4th & 5th Gens. But I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable..
Can somebody just confirm this?
@tramroadmotors should know this one..

Yep, just found this previous thread confirming that any 4th & 5th suspension is interchangeable..

So hopefully this broadens your choice a bit, and means you can pick the type you want; then just buy whichever derivative is cheaper.
