Default Suspension suggestions

Wanted some input from everyone on which suspension setup i should go with. Looking for something with a decent ride, not too harsh and also close to stock height.

I'm not too familiar with Honda's (my other car is an E30) I had H&R sport springs with Bilstein sports on my BMW and loved that setup.

-I like the H&R sports, what would be a good strut/shock to complement that setup?
-What about skunk2 springs and struts/shocks?
-I also saw the Tein S tech springs, how do they ride? Good shock/strut combo for them?

thanks in advance for your help, if you can't offer help please post your suspension setup and how you like it!

If your just looking for a bit lower and close to stock height, Tanabe NF210's are only 5% stiffer than stock and lower it 1.5 inches i believe. I have them on my EG with tokico blues, but i think the blues make them a stiffer than 5% ride.

Tokico Illuminas or Koni Yellows with whatever spring you want.

I thought blues blow quickly? My buddy had an EG and his kept blowing, then again he was running coilovers on the lowest ride height setting.

Is there a particular site anyone recommends getting my stuff from?

so true. koni yellow is the best strut. ill never put something different. ive had kyb gr2 tokico blues, illuminas. hands down koni. lifetime warranty. i went with nuespeed springs cause i hate having adjustable height. koni yellows have 2 perch heights that give you the option of lowering an inch. but the struts alone will put you at $500. well worth every penny of it.

I would def go all out if i had any intention of driving this car really hard on the street or doing auto x with it, i have the E30 im building to fulfill those needs. the car is a DPFI 4 speed and i dont plan on changing that, and even if i do it will be another sohc. Im looking for a good street setup for around $500 shipped

I never said anything about the blue tokicos, I suggested the illuminas which are the white ones that are adjustable
