97 coupe need lowering advice

Hey all I'm looking to lower my ek, and advice on a lowering kit, for someone with a tight wallet, I'm looking at goin with adjustable coil over's are skunks any good? what about those "JDM" ebay brands? I had S-techs on my OEM struts on my 01 sedan I really like the look didnt like the ride too much. Also, What size rim/tire is everyone running on the ek's 16", or 17"? I want to go larger than the 15, but my 17" on my 01 seemed like there want enough tire for the rim. i think it made the ride rough.

well i have a 97 dx lowered on coil overs with 17" rims, i get a bit of tire rub but i think all i need to do is roll the fenders in the back and the front i will have to deal with, can barley get my 17 year old fingers between the tire and rim i get to the first knuckle

Whats up man,

Im in looking to change the suspension setup on my civc too.

This time i cant some decent coil-overs. Do you know of any any shops in Calgary or Edmonton?

If your tires are rubbing would it help to get a camber kit to fix it? or do the 7teens rub either way?
