The car has a torsion bar set up at the front. To lower it at the front you have to adjust the torsion bars.
86-89 integra da3 seats bolt in (very comfortable). There are a two different rail set ups in the 3rd gen civics so if in doubt just use the 3rd gen rails.
King springs make a low spring for the 3rd gen for a cheap and easy rear drop. Companies like Ground Control in the states make a coil over for most aftermarket shocks, which you'll probably have to get from the states as well. Koni and Tokico make good adjustable shocks for the 3rd gen.

Im pretty sure the Integra torsion bars would be interchangable as well. Would give you better handling as they are stiffer - so you can lower the car without the fear of bottoming out.
