For some visual evidence of what I'm talking about, here's my car on 195/55r15 tires vs 170/70r13 tires (the 195s are .8" larger diameter)

despite the car actually being lower to the ground with the smaller tires, the extra space in the wheel wells can give the impression of the car sitting higher.

That'll help you get rid of most of the factory understeer.
For suspension, the standard choice is Koni sport shocks with Ground Control coilover sleeves. They'll run you $900 + assembly.
If you aren't able/willing to play around with spring compressors, I would save up a bit more and get a pre-assembled coilover like the BC Racing type BR coilover for $1000. They'll save you the cost of having a shop assemble the shocks for you, meaning you'll likely spend less in total.
You'll likely want 16 or 17" wheels for a better selection of tires.
205/55r16 and 215/45r17 are good tire sizes in terms of having a ton of great tires to choose from. They're the same size or 10mm wider than stock tires on a 97 V6 accord, and approximately the same diameter, so you shouldn't run into trouble with scrubbing or steering range.
Best inexpensive quality wheel with the correct lug pattern for a 97 Accord that I would find is the Enkei J10. Might have better luck searching for other people selling used 16" or 17" wheels for accords, buying new wheels and tires is always pretty pricey.
The other option is to look into converting your Accord to 5x114.3 lugs, because then you can get lightweight, performance-focused wheels that nobody really seems to make for your Accord's 4x114.3 lugs.
