Default New Suspension for New Honda Owner

Ok so I just recently aquired my first Honda and I am in the process of doing some upgrades to it. Its a 93 Eg Hatch. When I bought it, it already had headers and a cold air intake on it. The only thing that I have done so far is put a test pipe and complete "cat-back" exhaust. The next thing that I was looking at doing was upgrading the suspension. I was just wondering what you would suggest going with. I was thinking about going with http://kingmotorsports.com/pro...Civic and then a set of 15 inch rota circuit 8s. Like I said this is my first honda so any advice I get will definitely be appreciated.

Depends on how you need the car to perform and what your budget consists of. to Tein Basics for a great setup at an inexpensive price.

Get a set of Koni Sport shocks to start. They feature adjustable damping, and can lower your ride height 1.3" on stock springs. They have a life time warranty, and the worlds best customer service. One of the north american reps is on Honda Tech every day to help with questions & advice.

I think the new lower price is around $460 a set or something...

Later on you can get some ground control coilovers for adjustable ride height & they are the only ones that make a coilover to fit the Koni shocks. As a bonus, you get to choose any spring rate you want (or they can recomend custom rates if your not sure), and they also have a lifetime warranty (even if you race). Cost, about $330...
