Default lowering with some kind of oem springs?

Are there any oem honda/acura springs that i can put on my 99 civic EX that will give me a slite drop. I am really obsessed with oem upgrades. (SI rear disks, sway bar.....) Im not looking for anything major. maybe an inch. My buddy put stock 350z springs on his g35 sedan and it gave him about 3/4" drop and it got me curious to see if there is a similar swap for my civic.... If there isnt suck a thing, what is the highest lowering spring out there? (and no, im not getting coilovers)

yyou can take a grinder and cut a little bit off your oem springs,
you can buy lowering springs like skunk2, tein, and a few other that are high quality name brand.

tein s-techs works pretty well with stock struts. gives you about a 1.5" to 1.8" drop for about $160-$200.

H&R OE Sport will lower you about .75" and retain mostly stock ride quality, give you slightly improved handling.
