Default 99 CIVIC SUSPENSION Question

I recently bought this civic and it has an extreme lowering kit. The back end sits perfect but the front end is to low for my liking. From the looks it has a slight camber which I dont mind but id really like to raise the front end about 1.5 " - 2". I am curious to know if I can do this by buying two coils for the front that are a little bigger and stiffer? What is the best way to attack this?

most lowering kits use "coilovers" and are ajustable with big nuts and threaded tubes. If yours doesnt have these you will need to show us exactly what you have in there first.

From what info you have provided it sounds like you just have a set of lowering springs. without upgraded shocks/struts. Coilovers will give you the most adjustability when paired with a quality set of adjustable shocks/struts. I personally have a set of Koni (yellows)/Neuspeed (Sport) Springs and absolutely love the ride and handling for DD driving but many love the Koni/Ground Control set-up for DD and track use. What you choose is totally up to you and your budget. Look for pics of various set-ups to get a better idea of what type of drop you are looking for because I recommend getting a complete set of springs rather than just replacing the two fronts. My $.02

Good Luck!
