Depends what you want if you want fully adjustable coilovers or lowering springs. A cheep set of coilovers your going to loose your ride if its a daily driver. I just go with a nice set of lowering springs prolly Tein.

if you want it lowered just a hair and to handle a lot better, my friend's old 99 hatchback with eibach sportlines and it rode amazing, it was an inch or two to tuck tire but the car felt great

Also, it was on stock struts

Look in the classifieds under wheel/tire/suspension, there will be an Eibach dealer somewhere in there.
It'll familiarize you with the forum too, so search around til you find it!

You don't need aftermarket struts with Sportlines, if you don't plan on racing your car or anything you'll be fine with stockers.

look into replacing your worn struts. buy some 5 way koni adjustables and use your old springs.

well are you saying you have the originals on your car? or is your suspension modified?

if your looking for something a lil more than stock go with konis. lifetime warrently (cant get that from honda) and reuse the stock springs. hopefully they are not to abused.

koni shocks, and im in agreement with eibachs and tein s-tech(not sure if its these or another) i believe has a pretty mild drop - but after this i'd really suggest some chassis bars, i'm in love with my spoon ones, increase handling ability a lot and no drop needed!
