Koni Yellows (or Blues) with GC Coils. Ha ha. Slamming depends on your budget. I wouldn't go more than 2" - 3" deviation from the standard deviation from stock. That is my opinion though and I like the ability to go over speed bumps head on, ha ha. As for your original question, I'd go with the blox.

Re: skunk2 vs blox
See, when I bought mine it was pretty low, the front lip was about 4" off the ground and I scraped everywhere. Lost a few pieces of the front bumper to manhole covers and pothole combos. It looks neat but it is very impractical. If I had decent pics I would show you. In addition, I know I suggested a two piece set up but for overall ease of install I would look into full body coils.

Check these out https://honda-tech.com/forums/wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-48/progress-coil-over-special-promotion-2692801/ these guys have been doing suspension a hell of a lot longer than Skunk2 or Blox, and they ride good plus the price is nice.

Re: skunk2 vs blox
X2 on the ground control setup I'd highly recomend them I got mine for 899 shipped with front tophats from THMotorsports. My car is pretty much slammed and you cant even tell it rides just that good. I got the "race" rates which are 480 front and I forgot what the rear was. If your going to slam it then dont get the base rates. People in the salmmed thread are running up to 550 in the front so that you dont bottom out on holes and dips.

Re: skunk2 vs blox
Mines maybe just a tad bit higher than that but I also dont have a lip or sideskirts and I still have room to go lower. I'll have to get some pics up.
