Default Need recommendations on a suspension setup

Ive got some stock shocks, most likely close to blown, and some cheap, no-name coil-overs.

I came across some money and wanted to upgrade my suspension, but here is my dilemma, I absolutely hate the rough ride and rattle of a lowered honda, but love the look.



Heres how low my honda is now, and I wouldn't mind finding a suspension set up that would provide a nice daily drive ride, doesn't have to be a new Lexus feel, but I would love to be able to get some road-head without fear of her biting with every small bump in the road (this isn't the reason I'm spending 800-1200 bucks on suspension, however, just an example).

If you are looking for a Type R like setup then most likely I would suggest TEIN Flex Coilovers. Sweet setup, man!

H&R springs and KYB AGX's, I have better than stock ride on my lowered ej8. Probably be the same for ur hatch. Plus u prob won't have to spend over a grand whereas most REAL coilover setups will.

Koni Yellows and Ground Controls are a very popular choice but I would try PIC. Heard a lot of good things about them.
