ones tuned for "sport springs" are the bare minimum I would reccomend. you can pick up a good set of shocks for a honda for $450 (bilstein sport) which is a high pressure monotube with a built in bumpstop. that should do Okay. but I've said before for not much more you can get a proper suspension kit. from K-sport or D2 or Megan... lower the car and keep spring preload. I personally like the K-sport since it's what I use but any of the entry level kits will perform well. make sure you find one with adjustable mounts. so you can lower the vehicle without loosing travel.
