Default 1993 dx civic

I need to replace my springs in my car because one of them cracked. So i decided that i was going to do a compelete overhaul of the suspension. I also live in duluth so the amount of snow on the ground affects how low i can drop my car.

So here is my question. What is a good brand/model that has an adjastuable ride height?

I would go with an Eibach or H&R spring. No real need for adjustment on a street car.

If you must have height adjustability, I suggest getting ground control sleeves. The only problem is that every time you adjust the ride height, you need to get an alignment to fix the toe settings. It is also very important to reset your suspension bushings to relieve any unwanted twist (do a search for more info). It will help the bushings to live much longer (especially in rough elements)...
