question about coilovers

well, i never planned on getting the civic and now that i have it i am looking for some things for it. the first thing i would like to do is lower it. i know a lot of respectable companies that make coilovers but am kinda tight on money, so i'm browsing through ebay. well, while i was browsing i came across a couple of coilovers for the civic from companies that i have not heard of. Can u guys tell me if these are good companies and if the coilovers are worth the money?

here are the links:
R-1 Racing
OBX Coilovers


some other things i was thinking about was that if i bought these adjustable coilovers instead of the full coilovers, i would need to replace my shocks in the long run right? how long would my stock shocks last with my car lowered 2"?

Only one more question about this exhaust by OBX. anyone heard of it? it looks nice. is it worth the money in ur opinions? it says it's a full cat-back.

no one really knows the answer to 'how long will my stock shocks last'. for some it blows in a day, for others in years... its basically a matter of luck n how you drive. but even if they aren't blown, the ride would probably be really bad/bouncy. #1 since they are coilovers and #2 they're r1 and obx. i've heard badd reviews about the r1s even the double spring ones. the obx, i think only one person has them, i think his/her name here is 'elise' you might want to try and PM him.

since you are tight on money i would just recommend springs. i know they aren't adjustable but they ride pretty nice on stock shocks and are cheap.
