H&R sport springs installed on my coupe...before and after shots inside.
Okay, kids. First let me tell you what happens when you put integra or civic Si springs on a D-series civic. Here is a pic of my car with Eibach Sportline integra springs installed:
Looked AWFUL, fronts were higher than the rears because the springs are made to support a B18, not a puny D16. So I got the H&R sport springs and installed them yesterday, MUCH better, big difference:
And the good ol' engine bay shot for good measure
:
Just thought I'd give you guys the heads up before you go out and buy springs made for a different car (this doesn't apply to hybrids though). And don't bother telling me you don't like the way my car looks, because it's mine and I like it.

Man that first picture is hideous!
Looks much better with the change of springs. I would have just swapped motors

H&R Sports = too soft for the amount they drop, at least when used on Koni Sport shocks. I will be ditching mine for custom rate Ground Controls for my Koni shocks as soon as I get the money. But these are just my opinions.

hey I don't blame you. I've been trying to sell it since I want a CF hood, but no buyer yet 
However I figured if I boost my car this summer having a vented hood might actually be a good thing, right?

mmmmm....I wish. But oh well...won't these springs settle a bit? It looks like they should be dropping about 1/8 - 1/4 inch more from the gap that's still there. Just wondering.
