I love my adjustable TEIN SS full coilovers. Softest setting is almost stock, stiffest(my girlfriend hates this one ) setting still quite tolerable. It's my favorite. Setting right in between is probably the best for a regular driver.
But if you are on a budget, theit price gonna hurt you.

coilovers are way too expensive for everyday driving. check this out though, i was at the canyons and i was going down with a buddy of mine in an RSX-S. he didnt tell me what he did to his suspension but he said he put quite a bit of money into it. so he was pissed when we got down the hill cuz he said i was on his ass the whole time and at some curves he felt his car was gonna slide off the mountain. so basically the accord's suspension was just as good as the RSX-S. all ive done to mine is tein springs and acura TL rear sway bar. plus that double wishbone suspension is awesome.

well, dropping a 4th gen for cosmetic looks is kinda hard because you need to drop around 3inches for little wheel gap.

im on H&R race which are pretty stiff and extrememluy stiff when i dial the settings on my AGX's higher (2.2"/2.0" drop)

Stock

After that...probably H&R OE springs (lower about .75" or so). After that, probably Eibach Prokit. But most sport springs aren't too bad. I have H&R sports and while they are stiffer than stock, it's not punishing.

I have Tein H spec 1" front, 1.2" rear, KYB GR-2s...all hardware is new OEM. I have had Eibach, Neuspeed, H&R, my current setup is the best. No bounce, no bottoming out, no scraping, tight handling, crisp response, smooth ride, not stiff. My car is a daily driver, not a racer. I can, and have gone, over 800 miles in a week and I am ready to ride my Accord some more! My CDs don't even skip anymore.
