Default what to do with coilovers

I have a 02 accord coupe v6, i want to put 17s and drop 2-3inches, i heard eBay coilovers are ****. I'm new to this so what brand can i get to drop my car but also not give up smoothness and comfort and are somewhat cheap, and does it matter if i put rims now and drop later or vise versa

I certainly wouldn't trust my life with cheap ebay products, especially with something as integral as the suspension system. The cheapest coil overs your going to find are probably going to be dropzone or Teins. But even then you are looking at close to $1000. And it doesn't really matter if you do rims or suspension first, but I'd probably do suspension first.

You just have to remember that ebay is not any particular brand. It's a bunch of individual people selling whatever they have.

Might be DropZone or Teins. Might be no-name junk. Buyer beware.
