Default Lowering questions (I know, I know! Not again)

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

Eibach Pro Kit is the best way to go.

I've got 17x7 wheels, will the ProKit cause any rubbing or anything lame like that?

if you have an offset greater than 43, you should be fine with 215's..

i cut and rolled my rear lip so squeazed in 225's with an offset of 40 to have a flush appearance.. i'm also dropped approx 2.5" front/ 2.0" rear
