Default im new to this suspension thing, please explain

i finally saved up enough money to buy some rims and upgrade my suspension. first question, i read the basic accord fourm, and was wondering what is the best setup for the 6th gen accord. i know i can get the lower springs and shocks or i can get coilovers. i guess what i am asking is what lower spring and shocks would be best for a daily driven car or am i better off with coilovers. i really want something with a better feel of handling and a good ride if possible.
if i am to keep my stock rims, what is the best drop. i dont want nothing to low. i live in san francisco, lots of hills and high curbs. and if i were to get 18" what would be the best drop? im really new to this and i want to learn more. if i made any mistakes here, please clear it up for me. thanks

how much you looking to spend?

for stock feel with little bit more stiffiness, go with Eibach prokit with stock shock(assuming they are not blow or bend,etc)

personally scare to drive to SF at all in my lowered pos.

if you have little bit more cash, go with tein basic coilover.
(again, assuming you are not gonna take it to the race track every month)
