New springs to lower ride height

I’m wanting to get some lowering springs for my 2002 Civic EX Sedan 4-Door. I was originally going to buy a whole new set of coilovers but I’d rather go the cheaper way. Since it’s pretty much a daily I don’t really care about everything that comes with coilovers and am just looking for about 1-2 inches of ride height difference. I also can’t go that low because my roads are terrible. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find cheaper but still quality springs? I’m not planning on keeping this car forever so I don’t need anything crazy.

Those are just a little out of my price range. I was looking at some mXr coilovers that look pretty good. Again I don’t need anything performance mostly for the ride height. They look pretty good quality for the price.

I’d go for Tein.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d go Raceland before mXr probably.

Then save your money until you can afford them. Instant gratification is almost never worth it, and this is no exception. Your car will ride like garbage with cheap coilovers. I understand you're going for ride height but I promise the tradeoff you'll get with cheap suspension isn't worth it.
