It really depends how much you WANT to spend. Coilovers is the best way and can be done for $1300 and up. This kind of money can get you a decent set of BC coilovers that's height and damper adjustable. The worst method is king springs over stock shocks for about $300. There are also many combinations of aftermarket shocks and springs to look into like Koni yellows for about $1100 plus a set of eibach springs for 4-500. What's your budget?
to op ; I think pedders sells $50 for a spring. Lowered or not, custom lowered or what not still same price. So u'll be looking at $200 for brand new springs + $200 for labor + $50 wheel allignment on all 4.
all up $450. But if you lower your car there, you have to book a week in advance so they can order the springs for you

My 5th gen prelude has been running on King Springs low for 2 years. No problems at all for daily driving and some spirited driving. The drop is 1.5" and leaves a 1.5 to 2 finger fender gap on stock wheels.
If you're not lowering much, stock shocks with after market springs are perfectly ok. Won't be very comfortable but I don't think that would be an issue.
Second cheapest option after compressing and chopping. Wouldn't recommend that.

A true car enthusiast appreciates the time, effort and money put into ANY sort of car, modified in ANY sort of style, whether they may like it or not.
