eibach sport springs.

no matter what you do, there is NO WAY you can drop your car and have it feel exactly like stock.

It won't happen.

Yup...Eibach Pro Kit on stock shocks all the way for that app. It will drop you about 1.15-1.25" And they're cheap.

Check out tanabe's NF210's they have a small drop but retain the stock feel. I have their GF210's and love'em on my hatch.

Neuspeed sport springs and stock shocks. I had that setup on my CRX si and it was GREAT. Better than stock ride. They use a progressive spring that is "stock feeling" going down the road, but when you corner pretty hard they are up for the task. They don't ever bottom out like cheaper springs, either.

They generally lower the car 1.75in front and 1.5in out back. Gives it a nice stance. Not too low.

My rex with em on it:
