Default good suspension stuffs?

I'm thinking about getting new suspension on my 94 Accord sedan. It could use a little drop, and I want it to handle better. I suppose after 174k the suspension wears out a little. Too much body roll. I was looking to spend around $300 or so... any ideas? I've never really modded a car (besides audio) so I don't really know where to start.

some good wheels/tires will come eventually, but not soon.

thanks.

You're gonna have to decide how stiff you want your car to be, beyond stock.

see I don't really know. like I said, I haven't really modded a car before, much less experienced a modded car. I just want the suspension to be tighter. I just want to take tight corners and it still being manageable, and a little drop. i suppose a 'sportier' feel. I love everything else about the car... just want to take care of this.

I don't want a ridiculously stiff ride that makes daily driving uncomfortable, as this is my DD. Like I said, I don't really even know where to start.

My Civic is on Eibach Sport springs on stock shocks. The ride is lower, and a little stiffer, but still feels nice and responsive. I've also added a 14mm sway bar to the rear with 195/55/15 tires. Nice slight adjustment from stock. Nothing fancy by far.

5th gen FTW. I wouldn't mind dropping mine a bit but I have other stuff to take care of first...like a CD player for example. :hs:
