well, first off, do you want coilovers or lowering springs?! They are different for sure. If you want to lower your car and leave it lowered, get lowering springs and performance shocks. If you want it lowered in summer and stock height in winter, get coliovers and performance shocks.

I don't endorse any particular company for these products since I have had cheapo off-brand coilovers and upgraded to name-brand coilovers.

BUT!!!! DON'T CHEAP OUT ON SUSPENSION!!!
That being said, all the products you mentioned are good quality.

I have skunk2 springs and its good s**t. You wont be sorry if you go with skunk2. I think for $500 they have the pro series coil over, that would be the best thing to get if you dont mind a bumpier ride and have the extra cash

Or if you just want to absolutely slam your car 3"-4", get coilovers

You can't slam a 01-05 4" like you can to an older civic, the suspension geometry does not allow it
