you dont need special suspension to put rims on. If you want to lower thats a different story.
Without repeating myself I'm going to copy n paste again.

1. You can go super baller and get some KA9 JIC (or the like) coilovers etc shipped in from Japan. This is $2,000.00+.
A short list is:
Buddy Club
Algernon
JIC..............http://www.jic-magic.com/ViewProduct...10&CarMakeID=1
Ennepetal
Aistar
Kamikaze (Specifically made to drop your car STUPID low, shocks are short stroke and springs are really stiff)
AIMGAIN
Insurance
and the list goes on and on.
2. you can get lowering springs shipped in From companies in Japan. This is about $400.00+
3. You can get lowering springs from Europe shipped in. H&R actually has an application on theyre Europe site. Lowers the RL 1.5 inches with H&R quality. Found on Ebay with shipping from Europe for about $365.00+
H&R Europe part number 29844-2, lowers 30mm (1.2")
AP Springs (read wasnt that good) part number FS50-043 lowers front 40mm and rear 30mm (1.6"F and 1.2"R)
4. You can use 91-95 Legend coilovers (ksports etc) you just have to find the front pinchforks fro the fronts out of a Legend from a Junkyard etc. This usually runs in the $800.00 range
5. You can use 1st gen TSX coilovers as well. I believe from what I read the rears need a slight spacer on the bottom through bolt and the fronts should bolt in no probs. You also have to use your own top hats as in the lower model teins etc. This usually runs in the $800.00 dollar range as well.
6. You can always do custom air setups or hydraulics but usually alot more money is involved depending on what systems you choose and does the customizing for you.
