I wanted to know whats the best way to dropping the 2001 civic? i have neuspeed sport springs but havent put them on. i when to a couple a shops and the dont make shocks for the 2001 civic? i seen on this site and neuspeed site saying koni shocks is what i need to use but do i also need a camber kit with it? i planning to get 19 size rims for the car with a big lip on the wheel? what would be the best setup for my car?

you will definately need a camber kit...those rims will really turn in on the rear.
Ingalls or drpozone would be the best camber kit

Couple things... there is aftermarket shocks for 7thgen. koni yellow. pretty expensive but thats the only one for now. Tokico and kyb supposely come out with shocks but not "yet". You dont even "need" aftermareket shocks to put lowering springs on. Far as camber kit, you will probably need camber kit with that drop. If you are planning to get 19" , get 215/35/19, thats probably the only option, unless you want to roll fenders to put 215/40/19. You could just sell your neuspeed springs and buy fullcoilovers, so that you can adjust height, order to put 19" without rubbing. This topic should belong to suspension forum and topic has been discussed many many times. So search around. and there is SUSPENSION FAQ secion. make sure you read through. Very helpful.
