Lowered with H&R Sport & Bilstein Sport
Finally I lowered my TLP, it is a little difficult with hand tools and doing everything myself. But it is well worth it, ride is smooth as stock with stock tires and rims except speed bumps, a little stiffer but cornering is way better. Drove for 4 days then got an alignment. After everything settles, 2 finger on all four corners 
H&R is 100% made in Germany, Bilstein has lifetime warranty. DIY instruction is from NiteQwill's thread.

Thanks, Bilstein is $440 off ebay. H&R is $185 plus shipping from tirerack. Alignment $59 from Acura. NiteQwill commented that BMW/MB have the same combo for some of their sport packaged model, I tend to agree, especially on built quality.
One note on DIY, it is very helpful if you have another person, even if it is your wife/gf.

No different part number for driver or passenger side, they are interchangable as long you keep them on the right axel.
I did not take a before picture but the gap was 4-5 fingers, not totally slammed because I have Jethot coated Comptech headers and do not plan to scrap them. I can clear 80% of those concrete stops on parking spots and learn to leave 2 feet of space upfront just to avoid those taller ones.

There is only one ebay seller "techdeals1", took him a week to ship but products are as promised, brand new. Feedback is 99.7% positive.
I bought 17inch 5zigen rims toreplace stock rims and will post more pictures. Thanks for all your nice comments.
