Default Good suspension setup? yes/no?

First of all, I think I'd order from modacar.com... I was thinking of going with Tokico HP's (blues) and Eibach ProKit springs. Or maybe you guys can suggest something besides Eibach? I want a noticeably lower stance, but nothing insane and "slammed." I figured the Tokico's were an 'OK' shock to go with, better than going with stock.

Modacar
If your looking for a noticeble drop the pro-kit isn't the spring for you. Sportlines or Tein S-tech will give u an awesome drop without sacrificing a fantastice ride......i personally wouldn't waste my money on the Tokico blues, i didn't notice a difference between them and a new OEM strut. If i had to do it again i would have just waited a week or two and save the money for a nice set of KONI's. well worth the money spent

The Koni Yellow's are just a tad out of reach for me... now at least. How about Tokico's Illuma shocks?

i have the illuminas. i have em set at 4 in the front and 5 in the rear. its pretty stiff but i like it that way. im dropped like 2 inches all the way around on ground controls. i would say go with the illuminas, they are good.

anybody know how those koni yellows hold up as far as reliability on a daily driven car. i ve heard that there the best for performance but do they last? also any opinions on ground controll coilovers.

Koni's are extremely reliable.

Ground control is one of the best, most inexspensive setups you can buy for the prelude.

koni's are as reliable as the Honda that they're on. i've had three sets and haven't ever blown one out. i'm happy with the investment, save ur money and u won't regret it either
