SUSPENSION Question

ok I have a 2k1,EX, A/t, and i know my struts are going bad. I want to find out from anyone (who is knowledgable on the subject) about what kind of struts/shock/springs or combo I should use to keep the ride o.e.m. or rather at least give me a good daily driver ride (as this is my only car and I can't turn it into a project car, as I go to school and work full time). I have 15" lightweight alloy 15 spokes with 195/60r15 yoks. i'm not looking to go bigger with the rims either. ANY INPUT is appreciated!

SORRY IF this has been covered already...

Not that I have them but i have heard that some Eibach sportlines with 1" drop and some Koni struts are comparable too stock ...actually I've read somewhere on here that they said its how the civic should have come factory. I myself am contemplating eibach sportlines for my ride and eventually the Koni's b/c i have an 03 EX so my struts are not bad yet.

i put KYB AGX adjustables on all around with stock springs. the ride is mostly like stock, about 1/4" higher, and just feels more solid and of course there is less lean in turns. If you want to stay closer to stock, try KYB GR2, they are non adjustable. i am happy, and my look is mostly stock, let me know if you have questions.
