Default civic si

i just bought a (edit-2008) civic si and i want to lower it. its the coupe model. i was wondering what would be a good option to go with and what all i should get to make it reliable and still not have to much harshness when i hit bumps or what not...

springs, no coilovers and decent shocks for a good price KYB adjustables or just gas shocks. im riding H&R complete shock and spring set on my car, feels comfy.

If you want springs, go with H&R or Eibach or get some K sport coilovers or something.

Coilovers or new aftermarket springs and shocks. Don't put springs on stock shocks they will go out quick.
