I like the Eibach springs. They have a 1" drop but really don't change the ride quality. They also can use the OE Honda shocks if you don't want to switch. They come with a lifetime warranty as well.
If I can help let me know.

Hey Jim, I was looking at the Eibachs and Tein S-tech as well for the 1" drop. I was wondering if anyone knows if I would have problems running a front lip and side skirts with a 1" drop?? I'm not concerned about rubbing isuues because I'm running 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+, but I am concerned about scraping up a lip and/or sideskirts. Thanks.

Espelir, Swift (but pointlessly expensive), Eibach, Tein are all good choices.

Look into RSR... they wont drop the front too low, but you get a nice 1.4 in the rear.

anybody consider Tanabe NF springs? i had them in my IS and what's great is you don't get the bounce that you get in other springs.

Tanabe Normal Feel Springs
