Default Best suspension setup?

Hey guys, just wondering from real-life experiences, what is probably the best suspension set up that you've had or currently have on your Civic? I have a '95 Civic EX and i'm looking for an aggressive drop but with comfort also. My buddy has TEIN-S Tech Springs w/ Skunk2 Shocks & Coil overs.

I don't understand.. Best set up for what? What do you want to spend? What do you plan on doing? What tires do you want to use with it?

Basically, the best setup for just a daily driver, maybe who goes to the Track a few times for fun or a car meet or two. This is for the best aggressive look but still keeping the comfort. I'm not asking the best suspension setup so your car can get 8's or 9's on the quarter mile.

Buy some monotube Bilstein replacement struts and some coilover sleeves. Order whatever rate springs you want and send them back to Bilstein and tell them exactly what you want out of it. It's like $90 a shock to get them revalved.

Well I have only tried a few different setups and right now I have koni yellows and ground controls and its great. For daily use I set the konis all the way soft and my car is dropped enough so there is no wheel gap in back and the front tucks a bit and everything is perfect. It would be more than enough for occasional track use as well. Especially with some sway bars.

Also I find koni yellows with h&r race springs to be pretty nice as well. But obviously you are stuck at one height all the time.
