Struts, Dampers, Springs, Packages, Sway Bars???

Ok so I've been trying to read up on suspensions, I know the basics about them but as far as tuning I am clueless. I have looked around a bit and hear of way to many options; everything from cutting springs, to just putting a new set of springs with the stock struts, to changing to a whole coilover, adjustable, non-adjustable, sway bars front and rear, etc. and the list goes on.

Basically I am looking for this, a 1-1.5" drop on the car that will not be "rigged" so to speak. I have an 02 EX coupe, and I want it to be a nice setup, nothing ridiculous that allows me to go auto crossing on weekends but something that will lower the car a bit, give slightly better performance and still have a good feel so my teeth are not jarring on the road. Any suggestions or help or input would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I searched a bit around and cannot even find an answer as to what needs to be done for a decent job. I know everyone has there take on particular brands, Tein, Koni, etc. so I am not worried about the brand, that I can figure out, more so particularly what components work well together and which is a good setup for my needs.

Put together what you got in mind. Its far easier to make you change things than it is to piece stuff together. it also gives a bit of insight into what you're thinking.
