Default Lowering a 1991 Wagon

What options are there for dropping a wagon 2-3" front and rear? I picked up a 2017 Si and am holding on to my wagon and am wanting to make it a decent looking cruiser with an eye to an engine swap down the line.

Full coilover kit. Don't know of anyone who makes lowering springs specifically for the wagon. The rear struts are longer on the wagon because of the increased weight potential.
Did you even try to research this?

i dont think the wagon shocks were any longer. they rear spring perch was just lower and the spring was longer for more travel.

if you want to lower a wagon, just get any aftermarket shock and spring combo, for any other EF civic.

I have done preliminary research, and found competing answers so I came here for some clarification. I apologise for the naive question.
