03TLS ready to be dropped. which coil overs?

I kind of already decided on my rims (RH C4R / ASA AR1 style [black mesh]), but was reading from other peoples posts that its best to get the drop done first and then work on the wheels.. so thats what im doing.

i know i'm going to get a 19"rim & semi-low profile tires on it.

i want to have the chassis lowered so that the only thing you can see is the outside of the tire.. no space in between.. pretty much half an inch before it tucks.

ideally.. i would like my height to be the same as lacviet who has some C4Rs.

i really enjoy the stock ride and would like to stay as close to that as possible. or do i? is there anything about the ride i may want to change since i'll be lower & have rims w/a lower profile on it?

in advance: thanks to all who reply

Then go with the setup he has. I believe he has Tein coilovers with shorter springs up front (or all around).

Tein are also the softer end of coilovers, as far as ride quality go.

What's your budget and do you want comfort? Basically any coilovers available will get you the height you desire.

If there's a good set of Tein's at a decent price, get them. Otherwise Function and Forms are your best buy right now. Or if you wanna go baller status get some KW coilovers from the 98-02 Accords.

I rolling on Tein Basics right now and there a little bit stiffer than stock but still not as stiff as riding in a Evo 8.

KW coilovers are really impressive to me cause they maintain a close to stock comfort feel while giving your car an boost in handling.

I changed Teins coilsover to Function and form and I like the f&f. I do miss a little bit of comfy ride that Teins had; however, no bottom out with f&f
