gullycivic street rep is low. keep going
buy tokico illuminas and h&r or neuspeed race springs(it will lower ur car 2.5 inches) if ur on budget, but if u have a bit more money to spend, buy g/c coilover sleeves and koni yellows...

buy true coilovers if you want to tuck and still be able to tolerate the ride.

wow thats a bit too much...so a 2.25 and 2.5'' drop would be fairly decent!

If I were you I'd get either PIC's from ** NO ** or Ground Control's and Koni Yellow shocks from like ebay or a local dealer. OMNI's have a good ride as well and you can go low.

what year is your civic?

I would suggest an H&R Sport CupKit
or if you wanna really slam it - there's the H&R Coil-over ultra low set (tunable from 3-5")
The price might scare you - but you gotta remember - it's an all-in-one package, and you gotta pay if you wanna play

It looks like this guy has a chamber issue. Could cost big bucks on tires.
