I wanted to make sure I’m not gunna have any clearance issues since I’m moving from stock size to a bigger tire and lowering the car overall. After doing some research I am also thinking I should just save up for some Tein Street Basis Z Coilovers instead of the lowering springs since some people seem to say it kills the stock shocks and rides horrible. But I can't decide and want to know if there is any merit to these concerns.
Since this is my first time lowering a car and changing anything suspension wise any advice or knowledge of the products would be cool to hear as well!

Lowering springs are fine for a street car. The whole "they will blow the shocks" thing comes from guys that have used lowering springs on cars that don't have a performance (i.e. base model Civics) shock to start with. The stock shocks on these cars are actually very good.
