Well, first question you want to ask yourself is if you need to be able to adjust the height, such as raising it for the winter in the snow. If you don't need adjustability, I would just get some nice progressive rate springs, like Spoon, H&R, or Eibach.

For shocks I would get Koni Yellows or KYB AGX
Do you have the splash shields all installed? If so, just don't drive through deep puddles and you'll be fine.
The Spoon springs have the smallest drop of the ones i listed but are also the most expensive. They also probably handle the best. I don't know much about the Eibachs. The H&R sport springs lower about 1.75". The H&R OE Sport springs lower about .5-.75". Spoon is like 1.5" or something like that.

oh ho, man! i remember my first days on hcf... dude, i would go buy (or download) a manual for your car and read it first. just so u know what everything is("what is a fuel rail?") and the reasons why u would or would not want to replace it. i just went thru hell cuz i thought, "well those cam gears sure look swell", so just weigh the pros and cons man. and take it slow. me? id go intake manifold, rail, injectors, header, and ecu tuning/programming. but thats just me. pm me and i can talk u thru some of it. its still fresh on my mind... and the $1500 u mentioned? u might get most of that with $1500. maybe all of it if u look hard and do the wrenching yourself. if ur near alabama, i can help with what little knowledge i have. after u get all these things, cam time..

well yeah. i know how to fix pretty much anything on my civic i used to have an integra with a b18 and it was always falling apart so i had to change out almost everything. so working on cars is pretty easy for me. and i have all the toold i need. and if i cant do it my friend works on honda's at a dealership, and he said he'd help me. so working on the car isnt my problem its that i dont know what i should do next. i think i a going to get an intake manifold first. then i am going to go for the suspenstion. after that i dont know what to do.. but it'll be about an other month or two before i get both the manifold and the suspention all done
