I kinda say eff JDM... do what you want and what you think looks good. I am not going to base any of my build on what "we" or "they" say on Honda-Tech..... Be original and do what you like.... Also, for springs.... I had a set of green Tein's on my 89 hatch on stock shocks about 5 years ago and it rode smooth. Eibach, H&R, K-Sports are not bad... Tenzo R's aren't too bad... ummm... Vogtland and even Dropzone for cheapies rode decent. Just pick one in your budget and pull the trigger. I've owned all these and they all rode decent.

get some 205 45 R15's bro! they will look good and for lowering purposes i would say spend a little extra and do it right by getting some konig yellows with ground control sleeves! smoothest ride ever plus adjustable to whatever height you like!
