Whats your budget for spending??

It depends how long you're going. I'd recommend Tokico Illuminas at the very least but Koni Yellows for the best. I believe here's still a sale going on from one of the Site Sponsors on here for $375 shipped for all 4 which is a GREAT deal.

ones that go up and down.... or like John said john and 2slo said. koni yellows, I have them and they ride pretty good

Or if you would like to just go with some one pieces, for a decent price, I highly recommend Function and Forms. I recently put mine on and I'm absolutely in love (just ask John ). And I've heard nothing but good things from friends of mine that have had them.

I run Tein S-tech with NAPA premium struts. They're not anything special, but I was looking for good ride quality moreso than stiff handling or good cornering.

i got some koni yellows with the ground control coilovers they are bad ass they ride hella smooth and can be dropped so low u can basically sit on the concrete nest 700 i ever spent!

i was lookind to spend like 3-400 on struts. Skunk2 sports arent that good?

 

[crash!]

Well let me ask you this, what are you trying to go for? Comfort and daily driving? Performance? Stance?

For that much, Koni Yellows. You won't regret it.

This sale should still be going on: http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=207126

Have you considered coilovers at all? If not, why?

I went with Tein S techs and KYB AGX shocks for my daily driver and the ride is very similar to when it was stock. However I am regretting not going with the koni / gc setup because the tein springs just didn't give it that great of a drop. If I had to do it again and I am actually probably going to do it soon I would go with coilovers instead of lowering springs. It's a little extra cash but def worth it.
