Suspension Help
I need to drop my civic hatch a little 1.5inch or so. What's the cheapest and best way. I'm thinking of
Koni Red shocks
H&R Sport springs
Is this a good setup for a 1998 hatch? And how much would these cost. Thanks

Ok, in your post you said the cheapest and best way, pick one...
Seriously, I think your idea is very good, you could pick up a $100 set of coilovers and be done with it but I wouldn't. A good shock like the Red and a set of H&R sports will make you happy, and it wouldn't be very competitive but you could do some pretty spirited driving (including auto-x) and be fine...

That's the combo I have and I'm happy with it. I do wish they were easier to adjust sometimes, but that's my only complaint.
Koni Reds are around $400-$500 contact Astroboy for those. The H&R Sports are around $250. I got mine from Speedtech who is an affiliate of TCC.

Cut your springs.
It costs nothing!
