I beleive all the 92-00 are the same springrates.

You may want to look into a higher performance shock.

Reason i ask is because when i bought my Skunk 2 coil overs for the civic, they said i should have bought the ones for the Integra (b series) since the motor is heavier. And on the ground control website there are choices for civics with swaps.

As far as the shocks go... ive had the KYB's before... whats wrong with them? Would you consider the Tokiko Illumina's over thesE?

Well, you can call them and go the custom route, but you'd probably be fine with the standard rates. They're substantially stiffer than stock.

Yes. The KYBs were not meant to handle such a high springrate, or much of a drop at all; so they might not last long.

i thought that the GC's were the most comfortable driving coil overs?? would you consider the Tokiko's over the KYB's?
