Default Height issues civic/integra

I curently have a 92 civic HB DX. Before i had a 94 integra rs, so when i crashed the integra, i swaped all the parts tot he civic. Now the problem lies with the suspension. The integra springs were stock, so i throw them out. the civic had tenzo-r 2.5" lowering springs (i know they arn't the best, but they cam ewith the car). so the civic is running all integra suspension, minus the spring swhich are civic, which brings me to the issue of the car, on the ground, looks to be @ stock height. I know the integra front spindles are longer, and thus is the problem. but how do i make it so the car is lowered in the front? With the 2.5: drop spring, it sits about stock height, which is not good. any help is thanked.

92-95 civic suspension the exact same geometry as 94-00 integra suspension (including knuckles). All parts are interchangeable, and they will work perfectly (I know because I have GSR arms on my 94cx). Your civic should be at the exact same height it was before you added the integra suspension if you kept the civic springs.

Is it possible you forgot to cut the integra bump-stops, and your car is just being held up higher by them? Either that, or you didn't put something together correctly. It could also be that the shocks arn't sitting all the way down into the damper forks. That too would raise the front of the car...

Never thought of that. I will have to look. I just got the engine in today, so the front bumper and stuff is not in. It could just be an optical illusion, who knows. thanks for the help
