Default 95 Accord Suspension

Does anyone have any recommendations for springs on a 95 Accord 4 dr? I'm looking for my friend who only wants to get springs and not have to worry about shocks. Is the H&R Sports any good? It lowers 1.75" in front and 1.5" in the rear. Thanks for your suggestions.

springs w/out shocks can be done but I don't suggest it. yiou are going to loose a lot of ride quality
he is going to have to get a really low spring rate so the shocks don't blow out to which will make the ride worse
Eibach or H&R are good springs and are the only ones i have ever had any experience with

the H&R Sports (or Neuspeed Sports) are decent springs for the price.... good ride quality, but the spring rates are indeed a bit soft... i concur with Morgan in discouraging the use of stock shocks... i did this, and the stock shocks lasted a total of 5 months before blowing out... so save yourself time, labor, and the mental energy and swap everything (shock and spring) at the same time...

My stock shocks lasted until ~125K miles with Eibach Sportlines and then H&R Sports.
The springs lower the car nicely and are fine for the street, but if you do any kind of racing those springs are far too soft, excellent ride quality though (compared to a handling-oriented spring setup).

I think you meant Eibach Prokit. That's what I would get with stock shocks (although I'd never replace a spring without an appropriate shock). The Sportline is too low, and you'll be riding on bumpstops.

Thanks for the reply so far. How much do the Eibach Pro-Kit's lower? Does anyone have pictures?

Eibach claims 1¼ ~ 1½ inches.
I don't know what H&R specifies, but they're low, probably 2 or more inches.
Heres my car on H&R Sports, keeping in mind the front end is around ~150 lbs heavier than stock:
