Default 91 civic suspension

well i have i 91 civic that i may have to get rid of due to having a kid in 3 months.
i really want to keep it but i cant roll around in a civic with dropzones. lol
way too bumpy.
i dont have much cash so what kinda springs/shocks can i get so my car will sit at a nice stance and be smooth enough to carry a child in?

Deterioration of the thick rubber control arm bushings may be affecting the ride quality more than the springs and shocks at this point. I replaced nearly all the rubber bushings on my 91 Civic a few years ago and have noticed a big difference. Not that it was that bad before I replaced them. I still have the original shocks, though. I replaced the front springs too but kinda doubt that was really necessary.
