You should never go cheap for any part of your build bc it will be a headache in the long run. i would go with full coil overs but they are hard to find for around 200 dollars but if u dont have the money to buy them new or almost new condition than stay with ur stock suspension bc it not worth wasting 200 dollars now and than having to buy a new suspension in a couple month.

200 is not enough for aftermarket suspension mods, especially when you figure that you'll have to pay $75-100 to get it aligned afterwards. Yes, you can get parts that cheap, but they're not worth putting on your car.

You can pickup used ITR springs relatively cheap from hmotors and run them on stock shocks, but it'll be stock ride height.

I went with a $1000 suspension hook-up but people its too much for a civic. Full coilover suspension lifetime warranty.

Just piece something together as you go. Check out the marketplace, someone is bound to have some H&R, Tein, Eibach, something decent. Help the community if you can...
