Default Help with coilovers

Well since the search option isn't working, and I'm planning on ordering tomorrow, I really need some input from everyone. I want to buy coilovers becasue I think It's one of the best mods you can do. It'll give me the option to use different sized wheels in the future, and will also yield much better performance than just replacing springs. The problem is that I've been primrily into German cars (VW/BMW/AUDI) for the past few years, and things have changed alot. Originally I was going H&R because that was the brand to use if you had a 337 or m3 that you wanted to drop. But when shopping for Hondas, I really don't know what I'm looking for. The Buddy Clubs look nice, but how do they stack up? (And why the hell are they called Buddy club lol). I don't know much about Tein except it looks like they have a minimal drop of 1". There's also a group buy going on on Megan racing, which I know nothing about either. I would really appreciate someone helping me out...(especially with the buddy club thing lol).

Bilstein Pss9`s or just Koni/GC. None of the Jap stuff is really that good.

Get a Ground Control coilover kit with Eibach springs and Koni Yellows. I actually use the Ground Control kit with Eibachs and the stock shocks, and it works great. It allows you to corner weight, and drop the ride height to whatever you want.

No, minimum of 1". I'm under the impression that the highest setting is 1"below stock height. I could be wrong.
