Ok if you are not looking for an extreme drop get a set of nice springs and also replace your shocks as well. Sleeve Coilovers tend to be bouncy but can be good if paired with the right shocks. In your case I would get a good spring and shock combo.

i agree with 91zc on this one. get a nice set of springs and a set of shocks. I heard eibach's have like a 1.5 or something close to that drop, plus have a great ride. Just make sure you replace the shocks at the same time.

1990CIVIC, did you get your springs & sturts/shocks ? what did you end up getting? if you haven't got them yet you should get... ground control or skunk works for coilovers, & match them up w/ koni yellows or kyb agx for sturts/shocks (both adjustable stuts).
then for regualr use get eibach or h&r for springs, & tokico blue gas shocks (non-adjustable)

I love my Eibach Prokits - not too drastic of a drop - about 1 inch. Really smooth ride...
