Default New crv owner here! Learn me on lowering

Hey guys, long time crv fan, finally picked up a 1st gen for a commuter. I recently moved to LA and commute 32 mile each through downtown. I've been doing the drive in my m50 swapped E30 with no a/c or powersteering, it's been miserable and I'm afraid someone is going to rear end me. Anyways, I can't leave anything I own alone so I've already put a nice stereo in, windows are getting tinted tomorrow and a few other subtle mods plans, lowering it being one of them. I know there is a ton of info out there on different setups but I'm pretty new to the honda world so the platform designations I'm still learning. I'm considering just buying the yonaka coilovers but the spring rates seem pretty extreme for a daily. The H&R lowering springs don't seem to offer much a drop. I know this has been discussed time and time again so I'm just looking for simple opinions on the yonaka coilovers or just post your hybrid setup.

Here it is, all stock, quite boring. 205k miles, interior is immaculate, one owner, very very well maintained. Passed smog better than most new cars. I paid $4600 which is probably on the higher side of prices but it was exactly what I was looking for.

Only picture for now.


And for clicks, here's my e30. It will stay parked for weekends now.
