H22 civic lowering spring question
 

I am putting a h22a in my 95 honda civic VX and going to have an integra suspension, what inch drop should i get on lowering springs wiht kyb gr2 struts? I wanted to know because of the weight of the h22. I dont want it to be too low so that i dont drag the oil pan off, would like the car to sit right above the tires maybe tucking a little bit, gonna be putting on 15 inch rotas as well

Re: H22 civic lowering spring question
 

the h isnt that much heavier than the stock motor.. its the placement of the motor in the bay that affects your handling. I would get some adjustable coil overs, with custom spring rates.. ( example: ground control); as for your shocks.. gr2's are oem replacements eventually on lowering springs they will blow.

Dont bother lowering with gr2's, they will blow.
What's the budget,and what is the primary use of the car?

its gonna be my dd, i really dont wanna spend a load on coilovers when im not slamming the car, i see no point in it, i just want to be a bit lower, i dont want my oil pan to get messed up, i know the struts/springs will not help the handling because of the h22, i was referring to the fact the h22 is so low to the ground

My friend has Progress Technology H-series Swap springs on his car (can't remember if he has adjustable KYB or Tokico shocks though). It's a nice ride, and doesn't lower it too much. It handles better than my stock CX (before my suspension went bad).

Just in case you decide to spend a bit more, you might wanna consider progress CS II coilovers. I recently installed them on my H22 93 CX, and it handles quite nice while handling bumps nicely. A little stiffer than stock, but pretty comfortable, and way better than some of other affordable ones I've seen.
Hondamarketplace has them for $580 shipped, I think.
You can find them a bit cheaper though. I got my set from robear racing for $500+shipping.
