What is best
I have an 04 civic coupe and I want to get it sitting a bit lower now with my new 17s but Im not rele sure what way to go with coil overs or just springs, what do most guys run with or what would you say is better, also to note I do drive it all year round, and it seems like my rear sits a slight bit lower already then the front does is that normal I have had my rear struts replaced since they both went on me

even with only springs, you will need at the least tokiko blues - normal stock struts will likely die young with lowering springs. Also, most of springs will lower more in the rear than fronts.
will also require a look on compliance bushings, top mounts, etc, etc. Many do install the suspension and right after faces the cluncks for wore out parts - i did have to reassembled them twice because the top mounts started to clunk.
not sure of budget coilovers, never looked at them. minimum was maybe the skunk2?
D2, maybe?
Just don't use the word "best" - many does ask for the "best", but there are as many "best" as there are opinions and different uses and preferences.

Nice ride and low don't mix.
Stock height with kyb GR-2 will have a soft comfortable ride.
Tokico blues with lowering springs won't be to unpleasant, but you'll feel every bump.
