Re: suspension
...WTF?
There needs to be more details to your post. I'm guessing that since you didn't list a price range or a useage intention, you're looking for something under $1k and you're just using it to lower the car.
Name brand lowering springs work very well. I actually have some Eibach sportlines for sale. PM me if interested.
Just look for the amount of drop you want out of a name brand spring. Eibach, Tein, Koni, Swift, Skunk2, etc. etc. etc. etc. Usually, all springs will ride pretty comfy. You can use most lowering springs on stock shocks as well..but you'd do better if you upgraded your shocks to something nicer. Tokico makes good shocks at a reasonable price. Koni makes really good shocks...but they're expensive. KYB makes decent stuff at a good price also.
If you want something adjustable, you could do Ground Control sleeves. I have them on my civic right now and they're pretty good. Use the standard rates. You can use stock shocks or you can upgrade. Just like the lowering springs. Koni shocks take koni specific ground controls.
Everyone is about to post how great their $800 taiwan sweatshop coilovers are. Don't listen. Nice springs>shitty coilovers. Nice springs are also CHEAPER than shitty coilovers.
Next time, post with more info.
