I wouldn't even go with 16's in your case. No offense, but you don't seem like you know a lot about suspensions, and I would recommend you go with a 15 inch wheel (probably a 195/55/r15) considering the drop you have with uncorrected alignment.

you're doing that thing again where you don't listen to advice.

don't buy the ebay coilovers

dito... 15s or 16s max for a lowered civic IMO.... the lower the ride the worse the ride is!!!! and with those hacked springs or even some cheap coilovers then the ride is going to be bad anyways.

and ya when your INSIDE dont use a flash... it will look alot better without a flash. not sure really why but i think it sthe reflectors or the shiny paint being flashed back to the camera.

and ya and if you havent got a alignment yet.... if you care about your tires GET THE ALIGNMENT!!!! without alignment and droped that much will eat your tires like fat kid at a buffet!!!!!!! and if your that broke.... tires are very expensive!


also look for hit for cash... look localy for PLASMA or BLOOD DONATING where they pay you!!!!!!! when i was younger and i was hit for cash thats what i did for some spending money. takes about an 1/2-1hour and you get cash and can go every 2days for plasma. tho ya do get stuck with a needle in your arm.LOL but its money... just bring something to read or something.
