usually a 8in front and a 7in rear will work just great. this is usually how gc sells for most honda's.
altough 7in and 8in is easily interchangeble from front and rear.

not familiar with metric mesurement with springs but,
i run 600 pound springs in the rear of my car with out any issues. if this is strickly a race car revalving is defnetly something to consider

nope, lol definitely not a race car. just a civic i like to drive, i do a couple local autox a season, i mostly look forward to a local time attack event in my area. i know the guy who organize the event and its run the same day as his drift events, there is hardly ever many grip drivers. so i get tons of seat time. im not looking for anything fantastic out of this, just more grip since im considering selling my 86 to get a set of hoosiers to have fun on lol

BTW: thanks for the reply!

if the car will be driven on the road and for your case daily. revalving shouldn't need to be done. you are probably going to want somewhat comfortable springs anyways so i wouldnt go too high therfore revalving wont be needed.
