I bet your wheels have higher offsets than mine. my car is dropped on prokit springs right now. it rubs when I make sharp turns or have ppl in the car. the point is, I need to find some springs that will lower the front about .8 of an inch and will still look lowered without rubbing. any ideas? the only choice I have left now is go with the KW coilovers unless someone knows there are springs out there will lower the front less than 1.2 inch.
KSport is better than KW in my experience. 
KW V2
Great marketing, old coilover technology. The coilovers are not built for each car rather they are just mass produced and tweaked to fit the car. Also, the BIGGEST problem I have with them, when you adjust the height of the car, it changes the spring travel. What this means is that as you change the height, the car handles differently. There is also a high possibility the springs will be very loud as you turn ? if you search you'll see a few members mentioning this. The KW also costs ~$1800.
KSport
BIG in the VW, Nissan, Honda/Acura crowd. Changing the height of the car won't mess with the spring travel. It has a unique method of changing the height where it also won't make clanking sounds when you turn and hit bumps.

dont waste your money with KWs, i had them and i switched out to JIC and havent looked back
Nex and Ksport are based off of the JIC designs with their own spring rates so you really cant go wrong if you stick within those three, but the Ksports have a vendor on here obviously so your warranty actually matters
and as far as your rubbing i bet you are rubbing on the lining and not the fender itself

on KSPORT you can raise it as much as you want. you can run it as a 4x4 if you want. KW IS NOT YOUR ONLY CHOICE! You still didn't answer my question though. 

thanks for all the infor. all these coilovers will drop at least 1.2 inch in the highest setting on the front, but KW street comfort will allow me to drop about .8 inch on the highest setting which is perfect for me. I can play without rubbing with that little extra space and still will look low. why cant other coilovers can drop in the range of 0.8 to 2? lol...still, the only cure for me is the KWs street comforts, but they are a little pricy for me
