I'd recommend these: http://www.tein.com/products/n1_price_list.html
$2500

Ebay has dirt cheap coilovers you can get, but you might as well cut your springs. Word of advice, the lower you go the stiffer ride your gonna need to not "bottom out" or else your just gonna F up yo slab....If your on a budget look into aftermarket shock/spring combos, you can find some for a good price or save a little $ and get a full coilover setup. Look in the HT Marketplace, they're everywhere.....

Stay away from all the cheapo brand-x Taiwanese flashy colored jdm labeled "full coilovers"...they are all underdampened poop sticks with harsh spring rates and will end up blowing out in a few months.

Here is what I send to everybody who asks about my setup and where to get it.

Koni Yellow Sports: http://www.hondamarketplace.co...35513
$450 shipped

Ground Control Custom Rate Coilovers: http://www.hondamarketplace.co...69581
$315 shipped
My rates are 450 front & 400 rear.

^^^ vtecvoodoo ^^^ also sells the upper mounts for $120 a pair, (you really only need the front pair).

How old are you, 12?

If you're worried about "cheap, cheap, cheap" then why are you so concerned with lowering your car any farther? Your car is already low enough and there are more important things in the world. If you're that strapped for cash, go get a job and forget about modifying cars because it's an expensive hobby that you can't afford.

No, it sounds freaking awful.

The dampers are more critical than springs or adjustable control arms in terms of ride quality, in terms of handling performance; in terms of, well . . . everything. A reasonable quality entry-level damper (like a Tokico Illumina for example) is not expensive in the least.

I've never understood this "if I can't afford to do it right, I'll just half-ass it" mentality. Where does that come from? How is half-assing things even an alternative? I'd rather do nothing at all than to not do it right.

ARE these the Koni that everyones talking about the "yellow" right? These are the ones right? that's great in improving handling and etc.? Don't they usually cost $700-$800 instead or are these only just the shocks with no springs? LMK otherwise for the price I'll take a set!
