best daily driver suspension?
im not a autox *****. im not a drag strip *****. i use my car everyday.
what im looking for is a suspension that wont kill my wallet. all i need is a suspension that can offer a 50/50 combination of stiffness/comfort for the daily drive. a kit that is soft enough for a nice ride and stiff enough to prevent a gangster squat/lean during takeoff and turns.
i also plan to keep a stock height because i like not worrying about scraping.

Re: best daily driver suspension? (type B16)
I'm a fan of the Eibach pro-kit as well. We've used those with some KYB struts and was always a killer street combination. The ride was never really that rough, just firm and smooth, and greatly improved cornering. I'm sure more will chime in, but this combo has worked well with a couple cars, and it's very resonable in price.
It does have 1"-1.5" drop though, so keep that into consideration.

most any name brand strut with a modest spring.
my old illuminas on 5-600lb ground controls wasn't that bad for me.
right now i have 800lb gc's with koni yellow's and it feels good to me as long as i'm not on a highway..

You must have lovely streets where you live. I have Eibach Pro-kit for the integra with illuminas and my ride borders on annoying.
OP, If you love smooth rides then keep in mind that the size of your rims will hurt this more than anything else. If you're like me, the most I'd recommend would be the pro-kit with illuminas @ lvl 1 or 2.

I bought some KYB GR2 shocks with Vogtland springs on e-bay for aroudn $350 total. They work great... I would compare the springs to Tein S as my friend has those and they ride similarly. They provide a 40mm lower.

Not to insult your intelligence but maybe you don't know. Our springs are interchangeable with integra springs so make sure you keep that in mind. The integra aftermarket springs will always be more stiff
