Got an 03 DG 5AT Coupe. Not really lookin for performance gains, lookin for more looks. Maybe 1.5" - 2" drop. Tryin to get an OEM Lip Kit, 18" or 19" OEM rims, and an OEM spoiler soon too.

No they are not mine. But You should try to go coilover, I did the same thing went with springs first. I should have just started with coilovers.
Good luck

Springs don't adjust. Installation is gonna cost you money and when your stock shocks go, more money for aftermarket shocks and installation. And especially on a sedan you gotta mix fronts and rears to get an even drop. I want to be able to control my drop.

Yea, I only drive about 5 miles/day, and I dont want a harsh ride. I used to have an accord w/ TEIN basics and the handling was great/superb but the ride was another story. Lets just say I could feel george washington's ponytail if i rolled over a quarter hahaha!
