What kind of suspension upgrades should I do? The car won’t be a drag car or used for autocross. Its going to be more of a turbo’d daily driver.

Don’t turbo the engine, you’re going to be pushing your luck if you do.
Anyways, lower it ~1 inch, and buy a camber correction kit. After that find some decent sport shocks, and enjoy.
I would start with a rear lower sway bar. This will lessen body roll. With increased power with a turbo, you’re probably going to need a better suspension to help dampen the ride under full load. What I mean is, when you accelerate, the weight will transfer to the rear and the back will “dip” down with most stock suspension set ups. Energy is lost when the suspension dips like that. You need to apply all the energy towards the front by having stiffer shocks/springs in the rear to resist the “dip”. You’ll need a quality shock like Koni yellows. These are adjustable in firmness. I had them in my Integra and they are pricey but they’re worth it. They’re the last shocks you’ll ever have to buy ( in my opinion). By the way I had Koni yellows with Neuspeed Sofsports and my car rode like a dream. It was comfy like stock but was stiff when you pushed it around corners or lane changes. I’ve driven a car like yours and the stock suspension is pretty good from the start. After the turbo, if your ride is feeling sloppy , it’s definitely time to get a better suspension set up.
I use to own a turbo 99 si ^^ but swapping the motor for a k20. I went with a set of Tien suspension kit since its also a show car and some what daily driver but their pretty darn pricey. If your going to lower the car you can pretty much use almost any type of lowering springs or coil overs if your going no more than 2 inches since i did with my other 00 civic ex and my struts shocks ect is all fine. I went with a set of progressive coil overs and dropped about 1.9 inches and had it for about 2 years with everything else stock and its fine. If your also not to sure about what kind of suspension to go with you can also check out some fourm sites such as this one. http://www.hondacivicforum.com/
