Look into the Tokico HPK setup, very nice. Not all that low though. With coil-overs you pretty much get what you pay for

I have a 95 EX coupe with KYB shocks ad struts with neuspeed springs (1.9 drop) and a rear eibach camber kit. I could not be happier with the handling and stance!! Everyone i have ever known who bought coilovers hated them. good luck
