Default Most comfortable suspension? 1997 Honda Civic Hatchback dx

Any suggestions for the most comfortable setup for a suspension in a 1997 Honda civic hatchback dx daily driver. The car is stock completely but wanted to do the suspension 1st before any engine or other upgrades. I've been recommended Function Form but I seen the 1st article explaining problems with them, how about the Ktuned suspension has anybody have experience with them? Or plain simple what's you're recommendation? Open for any suggestions. What suspensions to stay away from? What suspensions to consider? Thank you for the time.

How much do you want to lower it?

Eibach Pro Kit springs and Koni (pick one) shocks is generally regarded as very comfortable combo. I think its like a 1" drop, typically.

Also...try a search.

Anything more than about a 1.38" drop is no longer going to be comfortable unless you plan to spend some money.

I forgot to mention earlier...but Tein Street Advance is a pretty impressive overall setup for street use.
