OC Civic, it seems you like your car to have an exceptionally low stance- the key here, if that is indeed the case, is to get something that has a short-case strut. The effective reason for this is when you have a car lowered severly with a standard length case strut, the suspension, with the car simply standing still, is using a good bit of its travel, imagine what happens when you go around turns and actually use the suspension? You will be riding on the bumpstops and/or inducing damage to the internals of your setup...
