Go for shocks and springs. Coil overs are expensive, but have different features. If you want just a drop, do Koni Reds (or if you want adjustable ride from soft to hard go Koni yellows), and H&R sport springs. I do not recommend that you just do springs, it will wear your stock shocks, and you will eventually have to replace them. Might as well do it all at once, and if you have a problem with one of your shocks, you are going to need it replaced anyway.

Squealing noise could be a warped rotor, or if you have drums perhaps the shoes need to be reinstalled and deglazed.
Or it could be **** spring, shock, or bushings that have deteriorated..

i took it to dalts honda where i bought it from, and they said the control arm is fucked so they have to replace it and that big thing where its connected at .. its like dented alll the way back so they have to bend it back somehow and do some welding or some crap..anyways they said its going to cost about $900 before tax.. does anyone think thats to much? if so do you guys know any good autobody shops i could go too..

Decide what you're going to use your ride for. If you want to just have a nice looking ride to cruise around in go with the koni reds and any of the aftermarket springs. Find out the spring rates obviously the higher the rates the stiffer your ride. Now if you wanna have some real fun and go racing. Definately go with koni yellows (adjustable shocks), and a coilover set up for your springs. You should also upgrade your sway bar set up if your going racing. The suspension techniques bars are pretty good, but check out the adjustable rear bar you can get from Real Time Racing in the US.
