don't do it man. don't do coilover, they r way to damn stiff...your ride is gonna suck. I had "street" coilover on my EG civic hatch and the ride got aweful...I got rid of it and got H&R sport springs and Bilstein shocks instead...ride was so much better....loved it!

Stop spamming in the same damn section.
And why would you want coilovers if you don't have money?

The most affordable coilovers are Tein SS and Tein Basics. Do a search on these, they are both under 1k. Check our vendors (tmengineering.net, l-tunedparts.com, luxurymods.com) for availablity and pricing.

After re-reading this a few times I think you might be confused. Your car is already lowered so I assume it is on lowered springs. If you need a new shock, just get new performance shocks made for a lowered vehicle. If you were to get coilovers, you would then be trashing the lowered springs you already have. Coil - over = spring over shock (one unit)

Default don't get tokico blues

whatever you do if u need new shocks don't get tokico blues , they are way toooo soft they make for a goood ride but on a lowerd car it makes for poor performance handeling , and a nice bounce (which means a horrible smash on bumps, driveways, and speedbumps) I have espelir ASDs and tokico blues and hate everything about the blues, but do your research and you might find them suitable for your setup, and your goals
