Default EF Sedan question !

Ok so I have my 89 Civic Sedan and Im looking to drop it. i love slammed ef sedans. The question is, my front 2 struts are allready blown so I need new ones any ways. I don't have a whole lot of money but I want to lower it. Should I buy coilovers ? or should I buy OEM struts with lowering springs. Im not too sure. thanks

get good shocks like illuminas. dont waste your money on anything less like blues or gr2. id get illuminas over agx any day.

buy a drop spring and put that on.

however, if youre really going to "slam it", then you probable should get some sleeve over type spring kit like ground control or skunk2 and get 7" springs instead of 8". dont even think about ebay kits. (if thats your budget, then just cut your springs and ride on those blown shocks.) then you really should get some extended top hats for the front shocks so that you dont bottom out the shocks.

regardless, dont expect much in terms of ride quality.

and remember to get an alignment every time you change ride heights.
