what your problem is you think your civic CX is going to ride like a cadillac deville. When you lower a car you lose comfort for the sake of handling, if i were you i'd keep the tein springs and get a set of tokico struts, coilovers are only going to make matters worse for you.

i had tokico blues and they were decent, good quality had the car pretty low and they managed to hold up and not blow out. i had kyb gr-2's on my old 6th gen hatch with ground control coilovers and as expected, they blew in no time.

You might get more answers in the Suspension section of HT since this is a suspension specific question. Try there too.

If you could save up a bit more... I would try to go with koni yellows. But I've ridden in a hatch that had tokiko blues and it rode fine and handled low H&R coilovers for a couple of years before selling. So they're not that bad. But theres better out there... Since you're on a budget I'm sure they'll do the job.
