which springs give the lowest drop ?

hi just wanted to know which kind of after market springs give the lowest drop. I used the HR, comptech and those drops were still to high for me and now I have the prokit and i like the back drop but the front is still to high for me, so I was thinking of getting another set of springs with a lower front drop and putting those on and another ? is can you mix different brands of springs

thanks

Coilovers can go so much lower than just springs. I believe NEX and Zeals are the lowest coilovers being able to go to 5 inch drop.
