Want to drop my 01' civic sedan. Need help

Im not really sure what i need to get to drop my car. I think i want it adjustable because i live out in the sticks and the roads are not that even. I want to do it myself to save some money but i dont really know what i need to buy to get the job done. Any kind of help or suggestions on what kits to buuy would be great. Im new to these tuner imports but they're fun to build. I was into muscle cars before. Thanks

well you can get full coilovers which include spring and shock for around $1k or maybe more, tein super street is a good one and adjustable. then you also need a camber kit for around $150. most shop will charge $250 to install everything.

prolly the only option of maybe keeping stock strut is the tein H-tech which is less than a 1 inch drop. sportlines are almost 2 inch. i had eibach prokit 1 inch drop springs with stock shocks and they did not last long at all. i was bottoming out all the time and scraping, and the rear was sagging down too.
