b16 drop springs, which ones to go with?
i got tired of the uncomfortable ride from cilovers. i put some red i dont know the brand springs i had laying around and it is really comfortable, but it looks like a 4x4 truck. i can fit three fingers on every fender, vertical ways that is. i want more or less an inch between each fender-to-tire gap. that is how i had it with my coilovers and i had no trouble not hitting things. i have 16 with 205 40 r16 tires please help me out, i also do not want to bottom out because my header will be gone. thanks

I suggest Progress Auto dropped springs...they are meant for the B16 swap in the EF Chassis. Awesome ride and just the right height.....
Before I bought these springs, I had the stock D15 springs and I cut them to lower car. When I swapped the B16 in, the front settled down a little more. I got sick of the slammed look and junky ride and handling, so I got the lowering springs meant for the B16 swap.

Im guessing you had some sleeve overs on stock shocks or somthing, and thats why you had a crappy ride.
A properly built and valved coilover that is set up properly will Generally give you a better ride than slapping on a set of lowering springs on your car. Keep in mind I said "properly" set up and valved. Look for somthing with at least rebound adjustment to give you the feel your looking for.

before I bought them, I wasnt sure which ones I wanted, but I knew they had to be for the heavier B series motor. I took a chance and I like them...

I got mine off of ebay, you can check there or ask a local shop to see if they can order them for you.

I bought mine from http://www.genxmuscle.com/store/40-1004
Aother brand worth considering is Suspension Techniqes. I have had some in my crx for 6 years now with a set of Tokico HP struts, running a b series and it rides as good as a brand new car with no bottoming out problems at all.
I rocked the neuspeed dragt spring on my hatch and they were nice you could get a finger unerthe back tire and wheel well maybe 2 and the front sat just on the top of the tire like maybe a quarter inch of space but never any rub with a ls motor......the crx has h&r cant really tell you the ride quality cause it hasnt been driven yet but the car looks good not slammed only about a 1.5 but the thing feels real stiff.....the neuspeed were not that good for daily drivin but did help the car from squating under acceleration
