WTB: Entry level Coil-over kit with install

Hi, I'm looking for a quote for an entry level coil-over setup with installation.

Possibly: Tein Basic, Koni sport kit, D2 RS or something along those lines.
Thoughts/suggestions would be welcomed.

Car info:
2003 Civic coupe DX
Stock suspension except H&R lowering springs for the past 3-4 years
Front/Rear shocks starting to leak so I'll probably be replacing them soon...
Looking more for comfort and aesthetic then performance

Thanks

If I had that car, i would put a set of Koni shocks with the springs you have. if you are interested in that we need to know what the diameter of the strut housing is in the front of the car. Koni does not make a coil over for that car.

Thanks for the reply, Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. The diameter of the strut housing is 55mm.
I'm quite a noob when it comes to suspension but I've read that with the Koni's the OEM struts are gutted out or cut. my question is, does this affect any other parts of the suspension system? IE. will the servicing at honda have any issues if another part of the suspension system needs to be replaced?
Thanks

the top of the strut housing gets cut off, and a large hole is drilled in the bottom of the strut housing to accept a bolt that holds the insert in place. This works very well. No other parts are affected. You will have a pm shortly about the price.
