Welcome to our crazy addiction!
I'm surprised nobody has asked a very important question: What is your intended us for the car once it is lowered? Just looks? Sporty driving? Some sort of racing? The answer will influence which way you should go.
The previous posts listing your options are right on. It is more challenging to find certain parts for our cars, but it is worth it. In some cases, it helps to ask for CRX parts rather than Civic parts. Mechanically, they are the same, and I have heard of some sellers who only list things as CRX parts.
Enjoy!

Thanks guys!
Most of the time its stiff..
I notice a faint creaking noise (kind of hard to explain, it sounds like a creak or squeak that seems to be coming from the clutch pedal, I gues sounds more like a squeak..
When the clutch pedal is being pushed in (during the inward motion) is when the noise is heard. The noise isn't there while the clutch is held to the floor nor when the pedal is released..
Could my cable be worn out or too tight or is it something more serious?

so if i go with the tein set up all ill need are upgraded torsion bars and camber plates for the allignment? thats it?
i was on heeltoeauto and looking at the option for the tein suspension, it was asking for spring rate..do i choose 4kg for rough roads and street sports...? and do i need revalving service?
for the torsion bars its also asking for the app? I guess i choose 24mm for sport...?
and there was an option for a Panhard Bar..do i need those as well?
and should i add the hardware kit with the camber plates?
sorry for all the questions..this is the first time im doing this so yea i dnt know much lol

Thanks guys!
So as far as lowering the car, how low can i go? is 1 1/2" or mayb 2" too low?
do i need to buy camber kits as well for the alignment? if so where can i find them?
Are those tein suspension kits for the front and the rear? or just the rear? What do u guys think is the best option/choice for lowering the car? tein suspension kit or ground control/torsion bars?
I think i will go with the tokico blues and custom short shifter from chedda_j
Thanks again..
