What suspension setup would you recommend?

I am presently running on the stock suspension setup on my ES Civic. I would like to upgrade the suspension setup to something that gives me a slightly firmer ride, and more importantly, something which will reduce the `bounciness' caused by the stock suspension. At the same time, I would like to lower the car to about 2 fingers' clearance.

I've noticed that quite a few people here have upgraded their suspension setups. Would be grateful if you could provide some comments on what is recommended, and what is not.

Thanks.

Looks like the konis and the Eibachs are the popular choice. I already have the Modulo kit on my car so I don't really want to lower the car that much. We get quite a lot of road humps over here!

As for the Eibachs, what's the difference in height between the Pro Kit and the Sportlines?
