Spend another $150 and pick up a set of PIC Performance Apex coilovers.

Going "pretty low" with a DA Integra often causes axle problems. I would suggest sticking with a reasonable ride height.

i heard function and form go pretty low, you can also get pretty low on a koni/GC setup if you have the GC top hats.
