Default Shocks for H&R Lowering Springs???

What shocks to use for H&R Springs? .75 in drop. 88crx dx.

I have heard it is not good to use the stock shocks or stock replacements because they are not designed for use with the increased spring rates.

What shocks to use with these?

Although I do not have a Honda, my Mustang is using H&R springs with Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables. Pretty happy with them.

Koni Yellows (sport) are the most popular. You'll probably see koni Yellow/Ground Control combos everywhere you look for Hondas. Koni Yellows can compensate for lowered cars and higher spring rate. They are great shocks but they carry a hefty price tag, about $525.
