For a daily driver i wouldn`t drop it that low, cause it will be hard to clear brake-bumps etc. The SX is already very low to the ground with the underbody. Shure it looks good but the all around driveability will suffer.

My 95 is lowered 3 inches, and has the front lip.

If you're careful, you can still go anywhere you want.Ride-height is a personal factor.It's all about what you plan on doing with the car, and where you live.

If it's just for show (like cruising Saturday nights) just put some coilovers on it so that Friday you can drop it to the ground, and Sunday it goes back to 4x4.

Sorry, i have no experience with b & n springs. That drop will suit you for a long while, mine used to be 1.3" with H&R, but i had to go all out and get the 1.75" Eibach Sportlines when i upgraded my wheels to 16". Something about less sidewall than fender gap that turns me off. :)
