Default Stiffest non-adjustable shocks

So then I'm looking to upgrade my suspension on my GSR. It'll be mainly for street use only. Corners and blasting through the cuts are frequent, but not track. I want to know what parts best fit my needs without going to full coilovers. What are the hardest non-adjustable shocks? As for springs, I know GC is good, but if I don't need it (raise/lower every so often) then I'd rather pay for something I can just use. My objective is to lower my car with only a finger gap or less, but not going under the fenders.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I don't like Tokico Blues/Eibach prokit because I had that combo on my 5th gen Prelude and it sucked.

why wouldnt you want adjustable, just curious?

i would hate myself if i didnt get adjustables, on a stiff setting, my car is wayyyy to harsh for a daily drive.

I don't think I'll use adjustable shocks to their full potential for my needs. Just something that I can comfortably cruise around in, and at times take turns here and there. Nothing too much ya know. But it can't be soft like the Blues I had. I can handle the stiffness, my previous car was an FD RX-7 and that thing was STIFF.

i would take a good look at the koni reds. i believe they are adjustable though, just not externally. theyre basically built the same way as koni yellows. that'd be my pick.

Default koni yellow's

they arent that stiff as many people think, well i dont think any of them are the stiffer the feel the more i love it but that's just me . i know a few people who do auto cross who also use them for normal driving and they love the feel and quality of koni's. i have them in my RX-7 and i love them, when i can afford to start modding my integra it will for sure get those too...
