Yikes, I highly doubt you're going to find anything off the shelf for a 1980 civic, as 'the aftermarket' generally doesn't cater to much earlier than 1988 for civics.

I know it's ghetto, but have you considered cutting the springs?

if my memory is working correctly, i think you have torsion bars up front. you can raise and lower the front by adjusting those.

now you might have to look into some custom springs for teh rear, there used to be a shop around here that made springs for heavy equipmet. and they would make springs for people they knew. see if there is one in your area
