Default Need help with choosing correct suspension

I have a 95ex coupe and the time has come for me to modify the suspension the problem is that i have no idea what to look into im reading alot of both good as well as bad about the same products and im not even sure if i should go with coilovers or a strut/spring package.

The car already has coilovers on it i believe they're neuspeed idk they look ebay to me i will be using the car as a daily driver and a weekend drag car also id like 2 get something that will significantly increase my handling since i do like the high speed twistys.

I know i sound like a total nub since im talking about wanting an over all great performance set up but at the same time using it as a daily but any information you guys could give me would be great since i really am in way over my head, specifically whats this GC and Koni yellow i keep hearing about

and i would also like 2 keep the drop the car has, which im not sure how much of a drop it is i just know i have no fender gap and the widest tire i can run right now is a 195/65r15 and i have probably about 4 inches of clearance from the front pinch welds to the ground,

i dnt really care how harsh the ride is and as far as price range id have no problem in spending 5 to six 700 hundred maybe a little more, im jst looking 2 keep my drop increase my performance and stay some what close to my price range. Thank you very much.


p.s. I already used the red search button many times so plz no flamming thank you again.

Edited to break up the single huge paragraph. Still not particularly readable with all the run-on sentences and jumbled thoughts, but at least the big wall of text is gone.

My advice to you is to get front and rear integra swaybars then go from there. If you already have the front and rear bars, i recommend tokico illuminas for struts. Trust me they are very nice. i have a VX and im only on the first setting all the way around. My ride is better then stock.

ASR brace plus the ITR rear sway worked great on my Integra, so I assume it would be great for your Civic as well.

Edit:
Also be advised tires is most important to your handling and ride comfort.

I would visit the Wheel and Tire forum for some good information.

I would go with the Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C Type II and strut bar.
