TRD will give you that drop. It will not very noticeable. Suggest the Hotchkis Stage I TVS springs; 1.9front/1.7 rear. Mostly, spring decision is based more upon ride quality and ride height than quality when it comes to the name brands. They are all of high quality. There are some cheap ones on the market that will settle on you. I have not heard of any that have broken. Hotchkis, TRD, Eiback, and Tein are good ones to start with.

price range will depend largely on your location, the competition of the shops in your area, and WHO YOU KNOW! i've heard of $200-$300 and i got quoted at $100. a friend of mine got his civic dropped for $0.

start networking. find people in your area (maybe your age range) that are into cars too. find the do-it-yourselfer. if you go to a shop and they charge something ridiculous, try to work a deal on the side with the installer.

use these tactics for this and your other mods in the future. some things you can do yourself, some things you need a buddy, other things you need a pro install. ask here first tho - save yourself the money!
