I personally don't like coilover sleeves. They limit you on ride height adjustment unless you run zero preload on the spring. So every time load is reduced at any corner of the car, the spring comes out of the perch and is free to move wherever. And as I said earlier, you're using the strut outside of it's optimum range of use and making it more likely that you'll bottom out the strut.

I would suggest a good lowering spring/strut combo or full coilovers. Both are pretty close to the same price for the '01-'05 Civics so I would suggest the better of the two, full coilovers. I'm using the F2 Type Two's on my '92 Civic and really like them.
