Default New struts and springs??

I am needing to replace my struts and shocks on my 94 Honda Civic hatchback. I also would like to lower it at the same time. My question is what would be the best way to go about this? What would be the best product to get while replacing the shocks and struts and lowering(not slammed) also would like to add some 15" wheels and new tires... Any thoughts?

What do you intend to use it for? For daily driving, a good budget set up are the Tokoco blues with just about any name brand lowering spring... If you want to spend a good chunk, then a good set up would be Ground COntrol Sleeves over Koni Yellows.

Shocks and struts are considered the same thing.

Suspension really does depend on what you're looking to do with it. However, Tokico Blues are just a stock replacement, and cannot be adjusted. I would suggest a Koni/GC setup as well. Koni's are 5-way adjustable and have a lifetime warranty.

Tociko Illuminas with Skunk2 lowering springs. Good ride with ajustability and the drop leaves you about a 1 finger gap.
