Default Advice on springs/shocks

I'm not sure if I want to lower my S2k or not--I love the stock handling and ride, so the performance aspect is good for me. I think the fender gap could be improved though, so I'd look into lowering just for the cosmetic reasons (but not SLAMMED).
After looking around the boards, it seems that the Eibach Pro-Kit may be my best choice, but I'm wondering what shocks I should get to pair up with those (basically, what's going to be the cheapest way to lower the car some without having a negative impact on the ride quality, etc.).
Suggestions?

Are there any spring/shock combos? Like for my past car (RSX), Mugen made a spring/shock "sport" suspension combo that sold for like $800 (not coilovers)

I'm on Espilirs with stock shocks and love the look. IMO the Eibach's are a bit too conservative on the drop. Skunk2 would be a low drop if you like that sort of thing. IMO, the Espilirs look great.

how long have you been on the stock shocks?
I'd love to only have to spend money on the springs, but thought that they would wear out the stock shocks quickly, so I might as well take 2 birds out with one stone and install everything at once.
Have any pics? I've seen some Eibach setups, and thought it was good for me (conservative drop)
