Tight budget, make sure it's a decent brand, and not those Ebay coilovers...
I had an Ebay set, they are worthless, and blow my shock in 1 week. Gone thru 2 set oh shocks before I got the GC one, they ride pretty smooth, and so far I haven't blown a shock yet.
So don't lower it until you save enough for a decent coilover set. It'll save you more money in the long run.

Re: coil over sleeves
If you are going to lower your car do it right. DO NOT CUT THE SPRINGS!!! NO EBAY STUFF. I would recommend GC+AGX because I had them before and the ride was awesome not too stiff(the shock were adjustable). Also, you might want to change your OEM shocks and springs at the same time so you don't have to do worl all over again. If budget is a big issue, just wait until you can afford to buy GC+AGX. Hope this helps.

Re: coil over sleeves
I have Ground Control coils and KYB AGX struts, but the cutting springs was just a suggestion. not making him cut them. But the truth is thats the CHEAPEST way out, not the best but cheapest

Re: coil over sleeves
On my 2nd civic, I had Skunk 2 springs and Koni Struts with the perch on the lowest clip. It rode like silk, handled like a grounded hellion and it was slammed. In all honesty though if you are going to by new springs and struts or coilover sleeves and new struts just buy the Skunk 2 Pro S. It's the same money or cheaper and you get a coilover with a matched strut. I'm going with the Pro Cs on the civic I have now, but for a really good cost effective set-up I would suggest the Pro-S for you.
