thicker coils generally go up front with drop springs. thicker coils means higher rates; i have yet to see a set of sport/race/drop springs have higher rates in the rear than the front.

noooooooo the longer one goes in the front due to the weight of the engine, i made that mistake with my H&Rs. mine were a 2.25 in the front and a 2.0 in the rear. trust me the one with the most coils is the one that goes in the front

On all 92-00 Civics CRXs Del Sols & Integras, the longer springs go in the front.

Front:


Rear:
