Default 6th Gen Suspension Tuning/Advice

I drive a 98 4cyl 5speed Sedan. I have searched the board and read many post regarding suspension and shock upgrades. However I still have some questions for anyone who would like to chime in:

While I really enjoy the soft feel of the Accords suspension, I desire a more solid feel and connectivity with the road. My friend’s 95 Civic EX is definitely more “driver friendly” although is/can be stiff and harsh over rough road.

1)Would the combination of Eibach Pro-kit springs along with KYB AGX shocks (if they ever come out for the 6th gen) produce a more sporty ride, without ruining the fluidity of the Accord ride?

2) If I do lower my car 1.4”, how will this affect the loading capacity, i.e. driving with a full load in the trunk and/or with 4-5 people in the car. Will the ride/handling be as supremely balanced as with the original OEM setup?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know many of the HAN members have similar spring/shock setups, I would like to know your opinions to these questions as well as any other concerns or areas I should/would need to address.

Thanks
Seth
