Whats The Best Suspension Around

I have a 2002 civic ex with 215/40/18 nakayamas with nitto tires and Iam planing on getting a suspension set up for my car. I was wondering what is a really good set up for our cars that will give a nice look to it and will handle almost like a stock suspension or that it wont bounce around like its about to jump in the air. i have about $800 to spend on this suspension set up so i was wondering about any suggestions please. Sorry new this civic modifying thing so please help me out thanx. In the suspension iam looking for the tire to be axactly at the rim on the car, but not tucked under. So any suggestiong on what to get and how much to lower it in the front and in the back.



thank you.

I dont think you want any suspension to Handle like stock, maybe Ride like stock but definitly not handle like stock.......

For 800, Koni yellows and some sport springs. H&R sports are nice, Neuspeed Sports would be good to. I'd avoid the Higher sping rated springs like Neuspeed Race. Not sure what would give you the desired ride height though.
