Just bought my Tein Flexs!

I'll be picking up my Tein Flexs this weekend! I also bought eibach front and rear camber kit. I need some advice on how low I should go. I have a 03 civic coupe with 15 inch stock allloys with 205/50 kumhos. I have a son I pick up on the weekends. I need to find a happy medium. I know I cant just keep raising and lowering my car every week. Any suggestions?
Also im looking to reduce unsprung weight and improving handling. I already broke the bank on coilovers so any econo tips would be great! Thank you in advance for you responses.

econo tip would be buying a set slightly used perfect condition w/ every extra possible to man.. from a guy who knows his **** and wouldset them up exactly how u wanted prior to shipping..

all this at a price much lower than ur paying now

also u dont need front camber kit cause the flex have it built in and if u try to use aftermarker w/ the flex it'l hurt the coilover due to the spacers... and the rear is needed.. but u dont want perfect camber for best handling.

learn ur over/under steer ness of car..
i set susp for major oversteer.. then countered this w/ alot of camber in rear.. compared to front and had a nice neutral car.
