Default What type of suspension setup should i get?

i'm new to this whole stuff. recently got a 93 honda del sol si for a project car since it needed a lot of work.
now i want to lower my car since it has huge gaps between the body and tire o:
i was thinking of getting kybs or tokicos... not sure. but, i'm not really that picky. i just want something decent and affordable. just want to switch out my stocks. so, any suggestions for which shock i should get and pair off with which springs?
thanks.

Look into a decent set of springs 2 inch drop it will keep the ride to. Prolly Tein lowering springs.

I'd go with the ground controls and KYBs. As long as you're sticking to a ~1.5-2.5'' lowering quota, then you'll be golden.

I have GCs on my EM1 right now and I love them. The springs are still in great shape after a long time of useage, and the rates are pretty good. The car is nice and firm but not overly stiff. Worked out great.

$270 is a great price for GCs and shocks.
