I want to drop my civic about 2 in at most . Just lookin for reliable information to go on. Should i go with struts? Should i just get lowering springs? should i get a coilover kit? Where doi start?

x2 that link will help you decide what to get. just dont cheap out on the suspension, you want something that will lower it but also keep it comfortable. you dont want to bounce everytime theres a tiny crack in the road.

if this is a daily driver or if you dont have much to spend then a good spring/strut setup is enough, but if you got the money and want to be able to adjust the height anytime you want then a coilover setup would be for you
