Need help choosing new suspension

Ive had my civic for like 6 months now, since ive had it the struts have always been shitty on this car
it has 142k miles on it
im looking for some coilovers or a good strut/springs combo

this is my daily driver i drive 3 miles to work 3 miles back, and like 17 miles to store, gym and back home. im not looking for crazy suspension.
just want a comfier ride. i was thinking about getting a good strut/spring combo cause i dont even really wanna lower my car. max is maybe 2 inches. if that
im running size 13 wheels right now. trying to get some HX rims.
please give me some suggestions and advice
my price range is up to 600, would not like to pass 750 though.
thanks for your help

Re: Need help choosing new suspension

Miles don't have that much to do with struts or shocks. It's mainly about the driver / driving conditions. You could have brand new one but if you go over pot holes, speed bumps ditches and all sorts of bumps to fast you ruin your shocks/struts quicker. It all depends on the driver. I say this from experience from friends rally subaru wasted shocks and struts in less than 10k miles
