2) I'm sure there are wrong ways and right ways.. what should I know to
avoid the wrong ways?

Re: Lowering 2000 civic sir question
you have 3 choices, one is the wrong way. The wrong way is to either cut
your springs or to heat them up and squat them, please, dont do that, it
isn't safe to drive. other to ways are up to you, either get lowering
springs or get adjustable coilover's. Unless your going for expensive
coilovers, springs tend to be higher quality. Expect to pay in the
neighborhood of 200-300cdn of a descent set such as eibach. Dont forget that
you will also need a set of struts to go with these, if you leave in the
factory struts your car will have a tendency to bounce (not safe at all) and
you will wear out the struts quickly. Once again for a decsent set, expect
to pay somewhere in the 200-400cdn range. Coilovers are used more commonly
then springs, just because they are cheap and adjustable. I know a couple
people with toms motorsports coilovers that they got off of ebay for approx
100 cdn and love them, best of all they can adjust their ride height within
a few minutes. Also factory into your cost installation(if you dont plan to
do it yourself) and a four wheel alignment after that

The only "cheap" coilovers I would get are by skunk2 or ground control,
these run around $400 US. For regular springs go with Eibach, Progress or
any popular brand. If you want the best setup go for true coilovers like KW
V2s or Tein type flex. These run between $1000 and $1500 but are the best
because they are height and rebound adjustable and the shock is tuned to the
spring
