Default which suspension for RSX?

I'm buying a RSX Type S (already has KPRO ) and the first order of business is getting it a little lower to the ground. I've had 3 Eg hatches and they were cake to slam, but this is the first "Newer" Honda I've owned so a little advice is needed. Which spring/shock combo or coilover would be best for an RSX? I don't care about the ride being stiff or bumpy; I'm used to it. I want to minimize wheel gap but also get a quality suspension. Any suggestions?

All I can say is keep it subtle. The newer McPherson strut design loses its geometry much more quickly than the older honda designs. In the future I may end up with an RSX, and would most likely seek out an Integra type R suspension for the car. It'll be likely the same $$ as aftermarket stuff, but be designed specifically for the car. Plus you've got honda quality. If had a few hondas over the years, and NONE have handled even close to the stock ITR suspension I have on my LS, while being streetable. Food for thought.
