If you are just looking for a drop why are you getting anti-roll bars?

and are the Shocks you are talking about as "honda civic fully adjustible" Koni Yellows?

For me, Id get #1, with out the Front anti-roll bar (of the combo) just the rear one, I assume its a 22mm.

Actually the Eibach Anti-Roll kit has only a 16mm rear bar. Get the RSX 19mm rear sway instead, I paid $55 for it used.

i would go with the teins. then, you will be able to adjust them for your different types of driving (street, track, or strip).

the only thing that the Teins would give you over the other set up is ride height adjustibility...

You would want realignment whenver you change ride height of the car. Dampening setting wont matter. I never even adjusted ride height after first day of tein ss install.
