I have a 1990 Honda Civic Sedan. I have a b16 motor swap in it too. I want to keep the sleeper look, but i want better handling. Are there coilovers i could use that i could adjust to stock ride height? Thanks.

 

Stock springs with good shocks (i.e. Konis, or Illuminas if your on a budget) and a thick rear sway bar...

You can get ground control coilovers with taller springs and it can be set at OEM height. Call ground control directly and tell them what you are looking for...i hear they are very nice and helpful. Also match it up with a good set a dampers.

goodluck

 

If you want stock height and sleeper but better handling why not a shock like Tokico Illumina or Koni Yellow and ITR springs (250/250). It will give you better handling and lower maybe 0.75" I believe.

Then take the cash saved, and get a larger rear sway bar. Not sure if subframe reinforcement is required for the 88-91, but this set-up will maintain sleeper look and won't cost $800-$830 on shocks/GC coilovers, yet will give good handling...especially the rear sway bar.

However...if your looking for auto-x handling or extreme handling and are willing to sacrifice ride quality...then Koni/GC, some stiff rates 380F/430R and a large rear sway bar will get the job done. Depends on your needs (auto-x yes or no, daily driven and you want better handling, budget).

obviously don't forget good tires too
