just get a set of lowered springs..
king springs maybe around $400 fitted
But I'd recommend something better for a euro, like H&R or eibach...they are about $500ish (not fitted) but worth the money
i had king springs on my integra dc5 untill i put tein coilovers on it . king springs are ok but a bit harsh , i havent used the other brands mentioned but i probably wouldnt use king springs on the euro ( i want to lower mine aswell so let me know what you end up going with and how they were ) i think the euro is a resonably comfy ride which is why i bought it , so if the ride doesnt concern you you can put almost anythiong in there ( probably dont go for super low though )
is it true that using just average lowered springs can actually take away from the stock handling.... especially with a car like the euro which is generally setup handling well anyway?

thats very true. I've done a bit of research about lowering the euro and basically i'd avoid only changing the springs for any drop greater than say 1".
The eibach springs (which are a well known/liked brand) will lower a minimum of 1.5-1.6" all round and thats enough to blow the stock shocks. So basically you either get replacement shocks + springs or go for a much more subtle drop. Another thing to remember is that anything approaching 1.5"'s and lower in the euro is probably going to require purchase of a camber kit to adjust the rear camber back into spec (unless of course you don't care about tyre ware)
What i hope to do in the future is buy some well made but fairly basic and inexpensive coilovers (i.e. tein basic coilovers) that will probably end up costing the same as koni yellow shocks + eibach springs but with the addeed advantage of choosing whatever height you want (a feature of coilovers) and the fact that they can be rebuilt and recoditioned as they get older.
www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au (i think thats the site) should be getting these in soon, they also have a camber kit available and can order in whiteline brand sway bar for the euro too.
Hoped that help, but thats the approach i'm taking when i finally get around to lowering my car.
why dont you go to a suspension shop , they will anser all of your questions , just make sure you go to one with a good reputaation and tell them what you want to achieve , maybe go to a few , then post what you found out so you can get different opinions form us aswell .
