Default Poor Man's Coilovers? 91 sedan

I Know it's a stupid question, but what are the absolute cheapest coilovers I can get for a 91 civic sedan? Bought car with Ebay lowering springs, and its pretty bouncy. I just want something that's adjustable, will go low, and isn't extremely horrible. maybe around $300?

That would be stock coilovers, used.

Low requires stiff springs. Stiff springs require good shocks to not be under damped (bouncy). Good shocks alone cost more than $300.

Not going to happen, even with throwing out "adjustable" from the requirements.

Very true, save up to at least 700 bucks and you'll be able to buy a good quality coilover that will last you for a while.
