Question about suspension?
First of all I have a 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe. I bought these springs H&R Limited Edition for it and the drop is 2.0 in front and 1.8 in the back. I did not want to drop it on the race spring because it is too low but now seeing some cars and looking at the drop im changing my mind and I want to excahnge the Limited Edi. My question is in the near future i am buying gsr engine for it. Is the B18c1 heavier then the d16 and if it is how much and if I put the Limited Ed. Springs will it alter the rating from lets say what it is now 2.0 to like 2.1 2.2 in the front. I really do want the car sitting low.

the b18 is heavier than the d16 but not enought to make a difference on how low the car will sit. you can go ahead and swap the out for a lower, more aggresive spring or go with a coilover set where you can adjust the hieght at will.
i am running a neuspeed race spring and i love it. it's not slammed (close to it though), but i'm not dragging car parts down the street either.

X2! If your worried about height adjustment just go with a coilover setup that way you can adjust it directly to your liking. You can get a set of nice coiovers for 200-300. Just make sure you get a camber kit (skunk2-ominpower.....) or you'll be hating life when your replacing tires every 6 months!
