I have no clue about suspensions or how to install them but I'd appreciate some ideas on brands and how low i can go before it rubs..
I have 17's on with 215/45R-17XL 91H BSW Kuhmo's..

I suggest fully adjustable coilovers. They run anywhere from $700-1200 depending on brand. With these you can adjust the ride height to your liking. Tien coilovers would suit your needs

not to be a pain in the ass or anything, but since everyones pet peeves in here include how they hate ppl not knowing how to correctly spell VTEC and instead use v-tec or vtech

but its not tien , but TEIN .. the "i before the e, except after c" rule doesn't apply here haha =)

Ground control and konis are one of the few set ups people have. I have them and they are comfortable.

Off topic but is that you in your avatar. Haha that's hilarious. What were you playing?

I recently just bought the Megan Racing coil over damper kit, but you probably don't need to go to the extent I did.  I paid $1,100 installed and I went with this to be able to adjust the stiffness of the ride.  Also I need to adjust the heights for each side of the vehicle since my weight in the trunk and the sides in the trunk are not distributed evenly.  I had a boat look until I got the suspension. It's very smooth as well.  As others recommended, a coil over kit is what I would recommend.  I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself unless you really know what you're doing.  It shouldn't cost more than $100 or so for installation.

I sound pretty cheap, but im happy with em, I put tokico blues with a 1.5" DROP (all one kit) all around on my 02 accord coupe and i think it looks awsome, handles pretty good, doesnt clunk or anything and rides nearly the same as stock, alot of people dont really like tokicos but they have a lifetime warranty. Plus i only paid 325 shipped on ebay, struts and springs.

I dropped my 5th gen for $180 on Eibach Pro-Kits and stock shocks. I'm planning to drop my 6th gen on H&R and Koni's

finch, how is your 5th gen ride quality? lowered with stock shocks?

so i guess you dont have to change your shocks with springs...works for me.
