I've searched and read what should be the sticky faq for the 6thG, but I still have a few questions.
What I want to do:
Lower my car 1.25-1.5"
What I'm looking for:
-Comfortable ride
-Doesn't need to be adjustable
-Good quality
-Minimal risk to other suspention parts
Basically, what's the best (not ness. brand names, but those will help.) way to drop my car? If I want to do it the RIGHT way, what is everything I will need?

in my opinion, go with H&R sports and either tokico blues or non-adjustable koni's if you don't want/need the adjustability of your dampening. I have had my H&R sports and Tokico HP's on for about 2 weeks now, on 18 x 7.5 wheels and the handling is incredible compared to stock (i also have a TL-S front upper strut bar). Many people here have a similar setup, and this is a huge mod that is very affordable. A good place to get the stuff for cheap is adventon.com .... also, if you need instructions on the 6gen sedan (similar on coupe also), go to this website: http://www.filtsai.com/accord/index.php
hope that helps

Tein SS with pillowball upper mounts
All four shock bodies set to 5-7 will not damage anything else and you will experience predictable drop and the comfort of knowing the spring/shock body are matched.
Eibach/Koni, non adjust pretty comfy
HR springs and koni or bilstein shocks pretty comfy too
All of these probably need camber kits too keep that in mind
