Default Best Ride with lowering springs for 2k accord?

Hey guys, i drive a neon but my girlfriend drives a 2000 4d accord. I got her some 18" rims and now i want to lower it a bit. I have eibach on my neon but i dont know what is the best for an accord. She doesnt want her car to ride rough, she wants to keep it as nice as possible.

Thanks
Chris

Eibach prokit wouldn't be too bad w/ oem shocks...
I have eibach sportlines on oem shocks and its a little rough at times.

Are sprint springs good? I'm looking for good springs under $200 for my friend's accord '95. He wants it to look aggressive. Maybe atleast a 2in. drop would be good. I'll check it out.

I had the Pro-kit with OEM shocks on my g/f's 99 and that dint last for 3 months.
She had 17X7 with 215-45-17 tires.
Ever since the swap with tokico HP's the ride is much like stock and a lil firmer. But im not sure if it will ride good with 18's since you have lower tire profile.
