Default What about going up? Options for jeep like baja suspension on a 92 civic?

What's feasibly possible? I'm not looking to turn huge tires, just a bit of a raise and some off road Baja style tires so I can play out in the country.

Suggestions?

Someone else may be able to comment on any off-the-shelf offroad rally-specific suspension setups that may be available, as I don't know of any offhand.

However, if it were my vehicle, I'd probably piece together a coilover sleeve kit with a good stock-length damper. Droop travel is important, as you'll be reducing it to start with by raising the car. For springs, you'll want a long free length with a somewhat soft rate (though still a bit more than stock). You don't want the spring to come unseated at full droop, so if it isn't long enough to have some preload at full droop, you'll want helper springs and spring couplers to keep the main spring seated.

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.
