General opinion on the forum is that coilover sleeves are a very bad thing.
Also at that price there are far, far cheaper options (both for coilover sleeves or just for replacement lowering springs).
General advice is either proper set of adjustable units (D2, Tein etc.) or to use proper lowering springs, either on standard prelude shocks or on uprated/adjustable shocks (Bilstein/Kone).

Cheers Guys, much appreciated. Im learning a lot about the Honda scene.
Having a Motegi, i know the standard springs are slightly lower than standard anyway.
Will some after market springs be much difference ?

Not necessarily. What colour are your springs? Black are standard. Blue are the 25mm lower.

Reason being that style of "adjustable coils" are bad is because they can slip as they don't seat properly. That price is astronomical for what they are, but that's because you're paying for Skunk2 springs.
There are lost of reputable lowering springs out there. I recommend no lower than 40mm on standard shocks, depending on their condition of course.
Look at Eibach, Pi, Tein, Apex, H&R, Tanabe or even standard Skunk2 lowering springs. All are on ebay for a good price comparison

Standard prelude suspension so no lower than others. The optional springs were blue.
