Default Spring Question

I have a 93 Civic HB with a B18b in it. I'm looking at getting the Tein S springs and KYB AGX shocks. Now my question is, will the car sit lower in the front due to the B18b, will it be enough to notice ? Will it sit where it would with a D-series in it ? I would i be okay if i got the springs for the Civic ?

thats a good question, i know the people with H22's sit lower but its not that noticeable, what the H22 people that i know do is using Integra springs in the front. B18b weighs less so i don't think it will be noticeable at all.

I don't notice any different but I'm sure you will if you're using a measurement tape.

b series weigh 75 lbs more than a d series..so i dont think the height difference will be that noticeable...I think if your worried about it you could get the S-Techs that are spring rated for the teggie, and put those on the front, then put the civic ones on the back....just a thought...

I just don't want to look at the car and see the front end like an inch lower than the back or anything. If it can pass the eye test and still ride good that it'll be alright. When i did the swap i took out the AC and it's components so maybe that will help out.

When I had my b20vtec in my hatch with stock spring and shock, I don't notice the height difference but I notice my steering wheel was heavier.
