So how did you solve it?

Icon3 Re: Civic EK vs Civic EG for HPDE: handling/feel

Is it not a D15Z6? Thoze have 114hp unlike any D15B.

If it is instead of swapping engines you can do a 'mini-e' swapping valve rockers or something from a D16Y8 or a 'mini-me' swapping the head.

Re: Ground control spring rates

Extended top hats are usually not needed in the rear due to the longer available shock travel there.
