I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX coming to me soon, and am interested in lowering the car. I do not want it lowered too much, and will have it be a daily driver. I have been thinking about throwing on some Eibach Pro- Kit springs, but have no idea what struts to put with it. I have seen people use
- Koni STR.T
- Bilstein B6
- Bilstein B8

Which struts should I go with? ( I am trying to have the price not be too high)

The Koni str t's are what you want to go with out of that bunch. I've not heard good things about the consistency of the Illumina's valving, and anyway they don't last the long term with a lowered car. But if you can buy the shocks a pair at a time, you will not be let down by the Koni sports, either.

 

bilstein b8's (Equivalent of the old bilstein sports) they might be a bit harsh for a daily, but I've been happy with them on my integra.

 

And Koni sports

 

Koni yellows are nice, and likely the best choice....but probably overkill for his purpose. I'd still go for Koni Yellows, if I was trying to do a shock/spring setup.

The STR-T would work just fine if you're trying to do this on a budget, OP.

Or for the same price, I would do a Tein SA or SB coilover kit. As long as you don't have delusional fantasies about putting them on a race track...they're excellent coilovers.

KW's ST line has expanded their product lineup...and they're awesome. I have them on my GF's TSX wagon.
