Street car as in stock, or street car as in mild mods?

For a stock car I would use KYB's. They are probably the best performing stock replacement shock/struts for these cars.

For a slightly stiffer ride, use the KYB's along with aftermarket progressive springs in the back.

For an even stiffer ride, use Tokico Illumina struts along with the progressive springs (Illumina struts are 5 way adjustable).

For even more stiffness (for race cars) use an '86-'89 Integra rear beam and an aftermarket sway bar with the progressive springs and Tokico's at rear, then for the front use stiffer torsion bars with an Integra sway bar (or a Civic AWD sway bar) and Tokico's.
